of  Diptora  prepared  by  him  twenty  years  ago,  and  published  by 
the  Smithsonian  Institution  in  Volume  III.  of  its  Miscellaneous 
Collections.  It  is,  however,  not  merely  a  new  edition  of  the 
volume  in  question,  but  an  entirely  new  work,  constituting  a 
valuable  contribution  to  our  knowledge  of  the  entomology  of 
North  America.

PREFACE. 


The  aim  of  this  work  requires  no  explanation.  A  complete 
inventory  of  a  branch  of  entomological  science,  at  a  given 
moment  of  its  existence,  is  the  best  means  for  promoting  its  ad- 
vancement. Nor  does  the  imperfection  of  a  jtublication  of  this 
kind  require  an  apology ;  any  fair-minded  reader  is  aware  that 
the  chief  merit  to  be  expected  is  completeness,  and  that  whenever 
this  is  fairly  attained,  the  usefulness  of  the  work  will  far  sur- 
pass its  shortcomings.  It  remains  for  me  therefore,  only  to  ex- 
plain the  rules  that  I  have  followed  in  preparing  this  Catalogue. 

Rklation  op  the  present  catalooue  to  that  of  1858. 
Tiic  first  Catalogue  of  North  American  Diptera,  published  by  me 
twenty  years  ago,  was,  and  was  meant  to  be,  merely  a  com- 
pilation of  the  existing  literature  on  the  subject.  It  brought 
together  a  mass  of  references  to  the  descriptions  of  about  1800 
species,  scattered  in  more  than  one  hundred  difl'erent  works  and 
scientific  papers.  Although  such  a  publication  was  an  indispen- 
sable preliminary  step  before  any  study  of  the  North  American 
diptera  could  be  attempted,  it  conveyed  but  a  very  vague  idea 
of  the  actual  composition  of  the  North  American  fauna  of  diptera. 
It  was  impossible  to  ascertain,  at  that  time,  how  many  of  tlie 
specific  names,  enumerated  in  the  Catalogue,  actually  represented 
(litf'erent  species,  and  how  many  were  mere  synonyms;  neither 
was  it  possible  to  know,  whether  the  species  were  placed  in  the 
ri^'Iit  genera ,  and  even  in  the  riglit  families.  In  -order  to  give 
an  idea  of  the  extent  to  which  this  statement  is  true,  I  will 
quote  the  genus  Trifpcfa,  which  (excluding  the  three  species 
named ,  but  not  described  by  T.  W.  Harris) ,  contains  forty-two

specific  names  in  the  old,  and  sixty-six  in  the  new  Catalopiio. 
But,  in  coiniiuring  these  two  lists,  we  tind  that  they  have  only 
elrrrn  names  in  common.  In  other  words,  of  the  forty-two  so- 
called  species  of  Triiprta  of  the  old  Catalogue,  only  eleven  aic 
adopted  now  as  specific  names  in  that  genus;  the  other  tliirty- 
one  names  proved,  upon  investigation,  to  be  either  synonjnis, 
or  to  represent  species  which  had  been  erroneously  placed  in 
the  genus  Trtjprlu,  or  else  to  be  unavailable  names,  on  account 
of  the  insufficiency  of  the  descriptions.  The  <lifterence  between 
eleven  and  sixty-six  (the  number  of  species  in  the  new  Oatalognci, 
represents  therefore  the  addition  made  to  the  knowledge  of  the 
genus  Tnjpeta  in  North  America  during  the  interval  between  tlie 
two  catalogues.  Other  genera  give  similar  results.  Thirty-two 
species  of  Dolichopus  were  described  previous  to  1858 ;  the 
present  list  contains  fifty-nine;  but  both  lists  have  only  fint 
specific  names  in  common.  Thirty  of  thq  earlier  descriptions 
are  unrecognizable  and  therefore  useless.  The  old  Catalogue 
contained  32  names  of  species  of  Eristalis,  occurring  in  North 
America,  north  of  Mexico;  of  these  names  only  nine  figure  as 
species  of  Eristalis  in  the  present  Catalogue,  although  the  de- 
finition of  the  genus  has  not  been  changed  since  then.  The  otiier 
names  of  the  old  Catalogue  are  either  synonyms  (E.  dimididtus, 
for  instance,  has  been  described  under  six  diflferent  names),  or 
they  belong  to  other  genera,  as  JlclophiJus,  3[iksia,  even  Xylota. 
The  genus  Tabanus,  in  the  old  Catalogue,  contains  one  hundred 
and  two  names  of  species,  from  North  America,  north  of  Mexico ; 
among  these  names  only  36  could  be  adopted  ;_^  the  remainder 
are  either  synonyms,  or  absolutely  unavailable,  on  account  of  the 
:..jufficiency  of  the  descriptions.  —  These  instances  will  suffice 
to  show  that  the  new  Catalogue  is,  not  merely  a  new  edition  of 
the  old  one,  only  supplemented  by  the  new  species,  published 
between  1858  and  1878;  it  is  a  new  work,  prepared  on  a  ditie- 
rent  plan. 

The  process  gone  through  between  two  editions  of  a  cata- 
logue, (the  compilatory  and  the  critical  edition),  consists  in  form- 
ing collections,  in  determining  them  from  existing  descriptions, 
and  thus  making  out  the  synonymies,  and  then  working  up  each

family  In  monngrnphs.  It  will  be  a  long  time  of,  course,  before 
this  last  stage  is  reached  in  all  the  families  of  North  American 
(lipiera,  and  for  this  reason,  this  new  Catalogue,  which  represents 
the  tirtucil  state  of  our  knowledge  of  these  diptera,  is  not  entirely 
lioiiiogeneous ;  a  portion  of  it  only  is  synonyniical  and  critical, 
and  the  rest  is  still  a  mere  list  of  names,  a  compilation.  The 
('alalo^uc  may,  in  this  respect,  be  divided  into  three  groups  of 
families,  representing  three  stages  of  our  knowledge  of  the 
biiecies  enumerated : 

1.  The  families  of  the  first  group  have  been  worked  out 
in  monographs,  containing  comparative  descriptions  of  all  the 
species  (as  far  of  course,  as  represented  in  the  collections),  with 
analytical  tables,  or  else  with  figures,  to  facilitate  identification. 
f>ucii  families  are  the  Duiichopodidac ,  OrMUlae  and  Trifixiithte 
(monographed  by  Dr.  Loew};  the  TiimVuJac  hrcvijinlin  and 
Tnhimklac  (monographed  by  myself).  The  beginning  of  a  similar 
work  was  made  by  Mr.  Loew  for  the  Ephijdi-in'ulae  and  Scivmy- 
zidac  and  by  me  for  the  genus  Stfrphm. 

2.  In  the  families  of  the  second  group,  collections  have 
been  formed,  a  certain  number  of  earlier  descriptions  have  been 
identified  and  synonymies  made  out;  many  new  species  were 
described;  but  a  monographic  treatment  is  still  wanting.  Such 
families  are  the  Asilidae  (with  the  exception  of  the  section 
Asiliua),  the  Jhmhylidac,  Syrphidac,  Tipulidae  hnyipalpi;  also 
tlie  I'jujudac,  Midaldac,  Cyrtidac,  Bihionidae,  Mycctophdidae 
and  a  number  of  the  smaller  families  among  the  Muscidae 
nmhjptcrae. 

3.  In  the  families  of  the  third  group,  collections  have  been 
formed,  but  they  are,  for  the  most  part,  not  named.  The 
Catalogue,  in  such  families,  is  a  mere  compilation  of  references 
to  descriptions  by  earlier  writers.  Such  families  are:  the 
Cidicidae,  Chironomidac,  Cunopidae,  the  whole  group  of  Muscidae 
mhjptcrac  and  the  section  AsiUna. 

CoLtEcnoN  OF  TYPE-SPECiMEN.s.  A  difference  between  the  old 
and  the  new  Catalogue,  perhaps  more  important  than  that  already 
explained,  consists  in  the  fact,   that  the  majority  of  the  siiecies

PREFACE. 


ennroerated  in  the  new  Catalogue,  are  rcprcaentfd  in  a  colkctlon. 
The  collection  of  diptcra  of  the  Museum  of  Comparative  ZolHogy 
io  Cambridge,  Mass.,  contains  what  may  bo  called  the  typical 
ftperimens  of  this  Catuli>Kuc,  that  is  the  types  of  the  descriptions 
published  by  Mr.  Locw  and  by  myself,  as  well  as  the  sjiccie^ 
identified  by  him  or  by  mo,  from  earlier  descriptions.  That 
collection  thus  contains  a  little  over  2000  named  and  descriliel 
species  of  diptera  from  North  America  *j,  north  of  Mexico,  besides 
a  considerable  accumulation  of  unnamed  and  undescribed  materiaU. 
In  that  collection  the  american  dipterolo;jtist  now  possesses  an 
advantage  not  shared  by  his  Euro])ean  colleagues,  and  that  is,  of 
having  very  nearly  all  the  typical  specimens,  necessary  for  his 
work,  collected  in  the  same  spot,  It  is  highly  desiraole  that  this 
advantage  should,  as  far  as  possible,  bo  maintained,  and  that 
descril>ers  of  new  species  should  deposit  their  types  in  the  same 
Museam,  which  oifers  the  best  guarantees  of  their  permanent 
preservation.  Sixty  years  ago,  Wiedemann  (in  the  first  cha|)ti'r 
of  bis  Magazin  tUr  Zoologiei,  foreseeing  the  future  difHculties  of 
dipterulo;,;y.  suggested  the  foniaiion  of  a  central,  or  as  he  calk'J 
it,  normal  Museum,  in  some  Kuropean  city,  to  contain  types  of 
all  the  described  species;  no  new  species  were  to  bo  publisliod, 
wiihoot  previous  comparison  in  that  Museum.  May  the  Museum 
in  Cambridge  realize  that  idea  for  America! 

LiTTHATiRE.  The  literary  references,  which  I  give  in  tho 
notes,  are  not  meant  to  be  a  complete  index  of  dipterological 
literature,  but  merely  a  guide  to  beginners,  who  might  be  easily 
dctem'd  by  the  preliminary  work  to  be  gone  through,  before 
attempting  the  study  of  any  family.  Those  who  intend  to  go 
deeper  into  the  subject  will  have  to  form  a  more  complete  index 
for  themselves,  by  looking  over  the  yearly  entomological 
Rwrords**;,  as  well  as  the  works  in  the  libraries.  That  tiio 
majority  of  the  i)apers  quoted  by  me  are  those  of  Dr.  Loew, 
arises  from  the  fact  that  for  the  last  30  years  he  was  the  prin-

System.  The  systematic  distribution  of  the  diptera  and  the 
natural  affinities  of  some  of  the  larger  and  smaller  groups,  are 
still  matters  of  uncertainty.  1  have  preserved,  with  slight  modi- 
tirations,  the  arrangement  adopted  by  the  most  recent  writers. 
It  lias  the  advantage  of  alapting,  as  much  as  possible,  the 
division  in  Otihorhupha  an<l  (.'nrloihajihti,  to  the  seipiencc  of  the 
families,  as  found  in  Mei^en  and  other  early  writers.  The 
Xyloiihagidae,  Stratiomyidae,  Coenomyidae,  Acanthomeridae, 
Tabanidae  and  Leptidae  seem  to  form  a  natural  grouj),  within 
«lii(h  it  is  impossible  to  bring  about  a  satisfactory  linear  ar- 
raii;,n'nient.  I  placed  the  Asilidao  between  this  group  and  the 
r.oniliylidac,  in  order  to  bring  together  the  families  provided 
with  a  posterior  intovml.ry  vein.  But  I  am  not  at  all  sure 
wlictlior  this  is  not  a  cliaractcr  of  secondary  importance ,  and 
wlictlier  Dr.  Fi  liiner  was  not  right  in  placing  the  Bombyliduo 
nearer  to  the  Tabanidae.  The  relationship  of  the  Illepharoceridae. 
rsycliodidac,  Cyrtidae  and  Therevidac  is  likewise  uncertain. 
Orphncphila  and  Di.\a  are  altogether  incertae  scilis. 

Although  I  consider  the  Aphanijitcra  as  directly  related  to 
the  Mucdophilidne,  I  have  omitted  them  from  my  list,  because 
they  have  hitherto  formed  a  separate  object  of  study. 

GEOORAPnicAL  BANOE.  The  region ,  embraced  in  the  present 
Catalogue  is  the  same  as  that  of  its  predecessor:  all  North 
America,  north  of  the  Isthmus  of  Panama,  including  the  West- 
Indies.  But,  instead  of  enumerating  the  species  promiscuously,

boundary,  from  those  which  are  known  to  belong  south  of  that 
line.  A  species,  belonging  to  two  groups  simultaneously  is  placed 
in  the  earlier  group;  within  each  group  the  species  are  arniiiLTil 
alphabetically.  —  This  change  was  rendered  necessary  by  several 
considerations  of  expediency.  In  the  first  place,  the  work  of 
criticism  is  much  more  advanced  for  the  diptera  of  the  United 
States  and  especially  of  the  northern  and  middle  States,  than 
for  those  of  Mexico,  Central-America  and  the  West-Indies:  the 
reason  is,  that  the  bulk  of  the  available  collections  came  from 
the  former  regions.  It  was  found  expedient,  therefore,  to  separate 
the  uncritical  and  merely  compilatory  portions  of  the  lists  from 
those,  that  are  more  carefully  sifted.  At  the  same  time,  this 
arrangement  offers  another  advantage  in  the  better  survey  it 
aff'inls  of  the  geographical  distribution  of  the  dij  tera.  Any  one, 
running  over  the  Catalogue ,  will  now  be  abb  at  a  glance  to 
form  an  idea  of  the  character  of  the  fauna  of  the  tempt  rate 
regions  of  North  America,  as  distinguished  from  the  tropical 
and  subtropical  faunae.  Finally,  this  arrangement  will  be  found 
very  convenient  in  putting  the  Catalogue  to  the  principal  use  for 
which  it  was  intended,  that  of  identifying  species  of  diptera  with 
the  existing  descriptions.  As  the  Western,  and  especially  the 
Californian  fauna,  is  very  different  from  the  fauna  of  the  Atlantic 
States,  I  have  formed  a  third,  intermediate  group  of  those 
species  in  each  geims,  that  are  peculiar  to  that  fauna.  Whetiier 
this  distribution  in  two  or  three  groups  should  be  maintaincil 
in  the  future  eilitions  of  the  Catalogue,  is  a  question  which  will 
have  to  be  decided  then,  as  it  has  been  decided  now,  on  con- 
siderations of  practical  expediency. 

Many  species  living  in  the  lower  and  warmer  regions  of 
Mexico,  also  occur  in  Texas,  and  in  the  southern  States  in 
general.  On  the  other  hand  mexican  species  from  the  higher 
altitudes,  (from  Mexico,  Puebla  etc.)  extend  quite  far  north,  along 
the  high  plateau  of  North  America  and  in  the  Rocky  Mountains. 
Thus  Dcjcania  corpiilcnta  Wied.  and  JDcjcania  nttilio'uhs 
Jaennicke,  both  first  described  from  Mexico,  were  found  by  me 
in  the  Rocky  ]\Iountains.  It  is  only  recently,  since  I  examined 
the  mexican  species  in  the  collections  in  Darmstadt  and  in  Turin,

that  T  was  stmck  with  the  relationsliip  of  the  Western  and  of  the 
^Icxican  fauna  and  have  been  able  to  identify  several  si>pcies, 
publislied  by  me  as  new,  in  my  Western  D'ipicrn.  California 
partakes  of  this  relationship ,  and  shows ,  at  the  same  time,  sin- 
gular and  unexpected  coincidences  with  Euroi)e,  not  shared  by 
the  eastern  United  States.  Future  dcscribers  of  western  aud 
southern  species  will  have  to  bear  these  facts  in  mind. 


Localities.  The  scope  of  this  work  did  not  allow  much 
detail  in  the  matter  of  localities.  Still,  as  much  as  the  given 
space  allowed,  I  have  inserted  the  data  which  I  possessed  on 
the  subject.  Describers  of  insects,  and  especially  of  exotic  forms, 
are  often  very  careless  about  statements  of  tliat  kind.  It  is  very 
probable,  for  instance  that  many  species,  described  by  Macquart 
as  coming  from  Philadelphia  or  Baltimore,  were  merely  sent 
from  those  cities,  but  collected  somewhere  else;  some  of  these 
species  have  since  been  received  from  Texas  only.  It  is  to  be 
hoped  that  future  describers  will  be  more  accurate  about  localities 
and  their  altitudes.  California  and  Mexico,  in  different  altitudes, 
contain  several  dit?erent  faunas  and  the  study  of  the  geograi)hical 
distribution  of  insects  would  reach  very  erroneous  conclusions, 
if  it  did  not  discriminate  between  these  faunas. 


Species  common  to  Europe  and  to  north  America.  A  very  con- 
siderable number  of  European  species  is  also  found  in  North 
America,  without  belonging  in  the  number  of  imported  insects. 
Some  of  the  species,  common  to  both  continents,  do  not  show 
any  perceptible  differences ;  in  others,  a  difference  exists,  but  not 
such  as  could  be  considered  a  specific  character.  And  thus,  by 
gradations,  a  point  is  reached,  where  the  specific  difference  be- 
comes evident*).  A  careful  study  of  almost  any  sjjecies,  con- 
sidered as  identical,  may  niicxpectedly  disclose  a  minute,  but 
sometimes  important  distinctive  character.  Hence  all  the  species 
of  tlie  class  in  question  nuist  be  considered  as  open  to  challenge. 


*)  About  the  species  common  to  both  continents,  and  the  gradations 
occuning  in  the  specific  differences,  compare  Loew,  in  Siiliman's  Journ.,

Authors  differ  in  their  mode  of  treatment  of  species,  the  identity 
of  which  is  doubtful;  some  prefer  at  once  to  describe  them  as 
new,  others  assume  the  identity,  until  the  difference  is  proved. 
For  several  reasons  of  a  purely  practical  kind,  I  prefer  tlie 
latter  method,  thus  following  the  principle,  laid  down  by  Fabricius 
(Philos.  entomologica) :  Locus  natalis  speciem  nunqitam  distingnit. 
Once  described  as  a  new  species,  without  indication  of  its 
distinctive  characters,  the  species  escapes  attention;  on  the  con- 
trary, it  invites  one's  notice  and  challenges  criticism,  as  long  as 
it  is  quoted  as  common  to  both  continents.  A  time  will  come 
when  it  will  be  possible  to  subject  that  whole  class  of  species 
to  a  thorough  comparative  study.

Synontmt,  It  has  been  my  effort  throughout  to  make  sure,  as 
much  as  possible,  that  every  name,  which  figures  in  the  list, 
should  actually  represent  a  different  species.  This  is  reached,  in  a 
certain  measure,  for  the  fauna  north  of  Mexico  (with  the  exception, 
of  course,  of  those  families,  which  have  not  been  worked  at  all : 
the  Muscidae  calypterae  etc.).  To  attain  this  result,  I  have  /u>7, 
made  out  a  number  of  synonymies  by  means  of  an  attentive 
reading  of  the  descriptions;  and,  secondly,  I  have  visited  the 
Museums  in  London,  Paris,  Lille,  Berlin,  Frankfort,  Darmstadt, 
Turin  and  Vienna,  and  have  seen  the  types  of  descriptions,  which 
they  contain.  Any  one,  who  has  visited  public  Museums  for  the 
purpose  of  examining  types  of  descriptions,  knows,  that  even 
under  tho  most  favorable  circumstances,  that  kind  of  work  is 
not  like  work  done  at  home  (especially  in  the  difficult  families). 
Moreover,  the  study  of  types  of  descriptions  must  be  based  upon 
a  previous  knowledge,  and  a  thorough  one,  of  the  corresponding 
species.  As  I  had  no  collection  with  me  for  comparison,  and 
had  to  rely  on  my  memory,  and  as  my  knowledge  in  the  different 
families  of  diptera  is  very  unequal,  and,  in  some  of  them  very 
email,  I  am  far  from  having  exhausted  the  study  of  the  North 
American  types,  contained  in  those  Museums.  I  am  also  far  fioni 
believing,  that  what  I  made  out  is  always  free  from  error.  Those 
who  in  future  will  take  up  single  families  for  monographic  work, 
are  therefore  strongly  recommended  not  to  take  for  granted  the

synonymies  which  I  give,  but  to  form  an  opinion  for  themselves. 
For  synonymies,  which  are  borrowed  from  other  authors,  the 
authority  is  always  quoted  in  brackets  [];  synonymies  without 
Ruch  a  quotation,  are  my  own. 

NoMENCtATTTRE  AND  PRIORITIES.  Readers  of  the  Catalogue  will 
often  find,  among  the  synonyms,  names  which,  according  to  rule, 
should  have  the  priority,  being  of  earlier  date  than  the  adopted 
specific  name.  In  such  cases,  I  havf  discriminated  between  my 
roles  of  a  monographer  and  of  a  catalogue-maker.  In  those 
families,  which  I  have  described  monographically  (Tipulklae  hrrvi- 
palpi,  Tahanidae,  the  genus  Syt-phus),  I  have  settled  the  syno- 
nymy in  a  way  that,  as  far  as  my  knowledge  goes,  I  consider 
as  final.  In  other  portions  of  the  Catalogue,  the  question  con- 
stantly arose,  whether  to  substitute  uncertainty,  for  certainty, 
that  is,  whether  specific  names  by  Loew,  the  types  of  which 
exist  in  the  collection  of  the  Museum  of  Comparative  ZoOlogy, 
had  to  be  replaced  by  their  more  or  less  probable  synonyms 
from  Messrs.  Macciuart's  and  Walker's  writings?  In  such  cases 
I  have  generally  given  Dr.  Loew's  names  the  first  place,  leaving 
the  question  of  priority  open  for  the  monographer  of  the  future. 
In  the  few  cases,  where  I  have  acted  differently,  I  have  given 
my  reasons  in  a  note.  liikewise,  as  a  catalogue-maker,  I  have 
not  replaced  current  names  by  some  older  ones,  which  I  happened 
to  have  discovered;  the  latter  will  be  found  in  the  synonymy. 
Thus,  in  looking  over  the  Banksian  collection  in  London,  I  found 
that  the  undoubted  type  of  Fabricius's  Laphria  grossa,  is  nothing 
but  tlio  common  L.  tcrgissa  Say.  In  the  same  way,  Chrt/sops 
rariciintiis  Degeer,  is  the  older  name  for  the  wellknown  Chrijsops 
costutiis  from  Cuba,  and  Milesia  virginicnsis  Drury,  the  earlier 
name  for  Jf.  ornata  Fab.  All  these  names,  not  being  current, 
will  be  found  in  the  synonymy. 

Considerations  of  the  same  kind  hive  influenced  me  in  the 
matter  of  generic  names.  The  name  Anastrcpha  Schiner,  although 
earlier  than  Acrotoxa  Loew,  will  be  found  among  the  synonyms, 
because  it  belongs  to  the  future  mondgrapher  of  the  Tnjpdidae 
to  make  changes  in  an  existing  monograph.    I  have  but  sparingly

given  synonymies  of  generic  names,  and  only  as  fa.  as  I  have 
been  able  to  verify  them;  merely  copying  previous  authors  I 
have  avoided,  as  much  as  possible.  These  synonymies  will  be 
found  very  well  worked  out  in  Schiner's :  Fauna  Austriaca,  Diptera. 

In  looking  over  Agassiz's  Index  and  Marschall's  Nomcndatur 
many  generic  names  were  found  to  have  been  preoccupied  in 
other  departments  of  Zoology,  Messrs.  Harold  and  Gemminger 
(in  their  Catalogue  of  Colcoptera)  thought  that  such  names 
could,  without  inconvenience,  be  maintained,  provided  they  did 
not  occur  in  the  same  order  of  insects.  In  order  to  obviate  the 
possible  drawbacks  of  such  a  couise,  without  losing  its  advantages, 
I  hit  upon  the  expedient  of  modifying  such  names  by  the 
addition  of  the  syllable  Kco.  Kine  generic  names  have  been 
modified  in  that  way.  I  do  not  pretend  to  impose  the  names 
thus  forme*!  on  dipterology  for  ever,  and  look  upon  them  in 
the  light  of  a  postponement  of  a  change.  A  satisfactory  and 
tolerably  permanent  settlement  of  many  generic  groups  among 
the  diptera  still  belongs  to  a  distant  future.  It  does  no  good 
therefore,  to  add  scores  of  new  generic  names  to  the  large 
number  of  useless  ones  already  in  existence. 

Such  generic  names,  that  are  not  absolutely  identical,  but 
merely  resembling,  I  did  not  alter.  I  share  the  belief  of  the  above 
quoted  authors  that  such  names  can,  without  any  inconvenience, 
remain  in  use  simultaneously,  not  only  in  different  clasacs  of 
animals,  but  even  in  different  orders  of  insects.  For  this  reason, 
I  have  not  altered  Lasiosoma  Winnertz,  1863  (Lasiosomus, 
Ilemipt.  1861),  Enparyplius  Gerstaecker,  1857  (Euparyjlia 
Mollusca,  \M\) ,  Vhortica  Schiner,  1802  (Phorticus,  Ilemiiit., 
1860),  Euxesta  Loew,  1867  (Euxestus  Coleopt.,  1858),  lirachy- 
dctitcra  Loew,  1862  (Brachydcuterus,  Fishes,  1862),  EuoJctia 
Loew,  1873  (Evolenes,  Coleopt.,  1853),  Feromjma  Loew,  1873 
(Peronymus,  Volitantia,  1868), /S't/w^jycMMS  Loew,  1857  (Sympycna. 
Neuropt.,  1840),  Eurosta  Loew,  1873  (Eurostus  Hemipt.  1863), 
and  some  others. 

I  have  not  changed  any  names  on  philological  grounds,  but 
have  adopted  some  few  changes  proposed  by  others,  and  which 
I  considered  reasonable.

Types  of  fabricius,  macquaht,  wiedkmanx  axd  wai.keb. 
North  American  tyi)cs  of  Fabricius,  which  must  be  preserved  in 
his  collection  in  Kiel,  I  have  not  seen.  Most  of  them  have 
been  redcscribed  by  Wiedemann.  A  few  of  tlie  tyies  of 
Fabricius  in  the  Banksian  collection,  in  the  British  Museum, 
also  in  the  Museum  of  the  Jardin  des  Plantes  in  Pa;-is,  1  have 
been  able  to  identify. 

The  majority  of  "Wiedemann's  North  American  types  are 
preserved  in  tlie  Zoological  Musenm  in  Vienna;  but  there  are 
some  few  in  the  JIuseura  in  Berlin;  and  also  in  \N'esteniiann's 
collection  iu  Copenhagen. 

The  types  of  the  Museum  in  Vienna  are  contained  in  three 
different  collections :  the  general  collection,  the  so-called  collection 
of  Wiedemann,  and  the  collection  of  W^inthem.  This  is  in 
accordance  with  the  statements  of  Wiedemann  at  the  end  of  his 
descriptions  („im  Wiener  JIuseum",  „in  nieiner  Sanimlung"  and 
„iu  V.  Winthem's  Sammlung").  The  original  distribution  of  the 
types  between  these  three  collections,  has  not,  however,  been 
preserved  intact;  a  large  number  of  tyjies  from  Wiedemann's 
collection  is  now  found  in  v.  ^^inthem's,  and  in  som.;  ca.ses  even 
the  type,  taken  from  Wiodemann's  collection,  has  been  replaced 
by  another,  wrongly  named  specimen*). 

There  is  no  doubt  that  this  transfer  of  specimens  took  place 
at  the  time,  when  both  collections  were  owned  by  v.  Wintliem. 
He   must    have    begun   the  work  of   incon  orating  Wiedemann'^ 


*)  Tims  the  type  of  Tnhnnnit  UdmrnriUii  is  not  in  Wiedemann's 
cnllpctinn,  where  it  sliouid  liave  been,  but  in  v.  Winthem's;  the  T. 
Pciiiwardtii  at  present  found  in  Wiedemann's  collection  is  an  entirely 
ditVerent  species.  Exactly  the  same  is  the  case  with  the  type  of  AkiIuh 
<iisliniii»,  and  a  wrongly  named  specimen  in  Wiedemann's  collection  has 
led  l)r   Schini  an   erroneous  conclusion  about  the  identity  of  that 

species.  Dr.  ScMner's  paper:  Die  Wiedemarinsclien  Asiliilen  (Verh, 
Zool  Bot.  Ges.  ISHii),  was  written  under  the  impression  that  the  so- 
called  colleciion  of  Wiedemann  still  contained  all  the  types  referred  to 
it  in  the  Anss.  Zweitl.,  and  the  readers  of  that  paper  inuht  not  lose 
siijlit  of  that  fact  in  making  use  of  Dr.  Schiner's  statements.  Nearly 
all  the  types  of  I'alxnnti^  are  in  v.  Winthem's  collection,  but  in  other 
frcnera,  for  instance  in  Vvliictllu  most  of  the  types  are  still  found  in 
Wiedemann's  collectiou.

collection  into  his  own ,  without  quite  finishing  this  operation. 
Dr.  Hagen,  who  saw  both  collections  at  that  time  (in  18:30), 
speaks  of  them  as  being  united;  C„einverleibt" ;  see  Stett. 
Ent.  Zeitschr.  1844,  p.  131).  Under  such  circumstances,  tlic 
study  of  these  types  requires  some  critical  acumen,  and  a  con- 
stant reference  to  both  collections;  but  when  attention  is  paid 
to  Wiedemann's  handwriting,  to  his  statements  about  the  number, 
the  sex  and  the  condition  of  the  described  specimens,  and  tinally 
to  the  square,  red  labels,  with  which  the  types,  thus  transferred 
to  V.  Winthem's  collection  are  marked,  but  little  ditficulty  will 
be  experienced  in  iinding  out  the  true  typical  specimens. 

Mr.  Macfiuart's  types  are  chietiy  preserved  in  the  Museum 
in  Lille,  in  that  of  the  Jardin  des  Plantes  in  Paris,  and  in  the 
collection  of  Mr.  Bigot,  in  the  some  city;  the  latter  collertion 
also  contains  the  diptera  which  Macquart  had  described  from 
^Ir.  Serville's  collection.  Many  types,  principally  those  of  the 
descriptions  in  the  Uistoire  Katurclle  des  Dipteres,  I  did  not 
find  in  the  above-named  collections;  they  are  very  probalily 
lost.  And  as  many  of  the  descriptions  in  that  work  are  too 
short  to  be  intelligible,  they  will  have  to  be  canceled.  I  even 
suspect  that  several  of  the  species,  described  there  as  North 
American,  and  which  it  has  not  been  possible  to  identify  since, 
belong  to  other  countries.  One  instance  of  that  kind ,  (I'tihgyna 
fuHginosa,  an  australian  species),  I  have  traced  with  certainty. 

The  types  of  Mr.  Walker's  descriptions  (including  those  in 
in  the  Diptera  Saundcrsiana)  are  preserved  in  the  British 
Museum. 

Mr.  Walker's  writings  on  the  order  of  Diptera  are  not 
better  than  his  publications  on  Lepidoptera,  Hemiptcra  and 
Orthoptera,  as  characterized  by  other  authors.  The  same  species 
am  often  found  described  under  several  different  specific  names 
and  placed  in  different  genera ;  well  characterized  species  of  a  certain 
genus  arc  placed  in  the  wrong,  sometimes  in  very  distant,  genera, 
or  oven  in  the  wrong  family.  In  the  great  majority  of  cases 
the  descriptions  of  new  species  were  drawn  from  a  single,  often 
hardly  recognizable  specimen;  and  when  new  species  happen  to 
be  represented  by  more  than  one  type-specimen,  these  arc  almost

sure  to  belong  to  different  species.  A  few  instances  will  suffice 
to  illustrate  the  quality  of  the  work  of  this  author.  Of  the  two 
North  American  Emncnis,  doscriled  by  Walker,  the  one  proves, 
uiion  examination,  to  be  a  Jlrhqjhihis,  the  other,  the  common 
MvsiHimpta  gcm'wata.  A  North  American  I'lcvia,  described  in 
tlie  JD'q^tcra  Sauttdcrsiava,  puzzled  me  for  a  long  time,  until  I 
saw  the  specimen,  which  proved  to  be  a  common  female 
Dilo]>livs,  with  a  red  thorax.  ^Ir.  NValkcr's  Thc.cva  platjUita 
is  the  well-known  S*ichopoffon  trifasciatus ;  liis  AsiiJitliihnn  tcmiiprs 
is  lilq:haroccra  capitata  Locw;  and  the  common  Cordi/hira  hi- 
mactihita  is  described  as  Lissa  varijycs.  When  such  blunders 
are  committed  with  as  striking  and  easily  recognizable  forms,  as 
Dilophus  or  Blepharocera,  what  can  be  expected  from  Mr.  Walker 
in  the  discrimination  of  species  in  such  genera  as  Culrx,  liibio, 
Chiysops,  Tabanus,  AntUomyia  and  the  smaller  acalypterous 
Muscidae!  These  doings  were  not  confined  to  the  North  American 
portion  of  the  collections,  which  Mr.  Walker  had  under  his 
care.  To  quote  a  single  instance,  the  Mtisca  Alvta  n.  sp.  List 
etc.IV,  p.  911;  (the  pa/»-Jo  is  given  as  „Lapland?",  nBYanceV"), 
is  rei)reseiited  in  the  British  Museum  by  sciwn  specimens,  which 
are  nothing  but  our  old  friend  Stumoxys  cahHnins;  an  eighth 
specimen  is  an  Anthomyia.  The  passage  at  the  end  of  the  de- 
scription: „In  one  w'lig  of  an  insect  of  this  species,  the  lower 
cross-vein  sends  forth  a  stump  into  the  disc" ,  refers  to  this 
latter  specimen,  and  this  passage  proves  that  Mr.  Walker 
looked  with  some  attention  a^  it,  without  perceiving  that  it 
belonged  to  a  different,  and  very  easily  distinguishable  genus, 
and  even  to  a  different  family! 

^Ir.  Walker's  identifications  of  the  spec'es  of  former  authors 
are  often ,  I  may  say  in  most  cases ,  incorrect.  Thus ,  when 
in  his  description  of  Tuhanus  imltans  Walker,  he  compares  it 
to  T.  abdom'malis ,  I'abr.,  he  means  T.  fuscopunclatiis ,  Mucq.

These  facts  are  given  as  a  warning  for  entomologists  not 
to  trouble  themselves  too  much  about  the  interpretation  of  Mr. 
Walker's  descriptions ,  because  in  most  cases,  they  will  find 
tlieniselves  misled  by  ilic  very  data  furnished  by  him.    And  it

is  for  this  reason,  that  in  several  genera,  in  the  clioice  of  whirh 
I  liave  been  governed  by  considerations  of  expediency,  1  liavo 
enumerated  Mr.  Walker's  species  separately,  at  the  end  of 
those  genera. 

What  prevented  me  from  carrying  out  a  more  complete 
revision  of  ^Ir.  Walker's  tyi)es,  was  my  want  of  knowledge  in 
many  of  the  families.  As  I  said  above,  a  great  deal  remains 
to  be  done  by  others.  The  (lucstion  has  sometimes  been  raised 
whether  Mr.  Walker's  descriptions  ]iave  any  claim  to  priority  at 
all?  In  my  opinion  they  have,  v,hcn<,ver  they  are  recognizable; 
but  they  have  none,  whenever  their  title  to  priority  can  be 
established  only  by  reference  to  the  type  of  the  description. 
The  characters  of  some  species  arc  so  well  marked,  that  a  super- 
ficial description  of  a  single  specimen  is  sufficient  for  the  recog- 
nition of  the  species ;  on  the  contrary,  in  other  &,  '^cies,  some- 
times in  whole  genera  and  families,  the  specific  characters  do 
not  lie  on  the  surface,  but  must  be  known  beforehand  or  found 
out.  Is  such  cases  ^Ir.  Walker,  or  any  other  describer  of  liis 
type,  merely  describe  the  specimen,  not  the  species;  they  do  not 
know  the  species  again,  when  they  see  it;  consequently,  the  name 
they  give  to  that  specimen  has  no  scientific  meaning  at  all, 
and,  it  seems  to  mo,  no  claim  to  priority.  A  case  in  point  are 
the  North  American  Dolkliopodidac ,  described  by  Mr. 'Walker. 
The  elaborate  and  painstaking  criticisms  of  these  descrii)tions  by 
Dr.  Loew  (Monogr.  etc.  Vol.  II),  prove,  that  Mr.  Walker, 
either  from  want  of  knowledge  or  from  carelessness,  did  not 
pay  the  slightest  attention  to  those  characters  which  serve  to 
distinguish  the  species  of  Dolichopus  from  each  other,  so  that 
of  the  twenty -six  so-called  species,  described  by  him,  itot  a 
single  one  could  be  recognized.  Now  I  ask  whether  it  would 
be  expedient,  with  Mr.  Loew's  monograph  in  hand,  to  determine 
Mr.  Walker's  type-specimens  and  then  to  grant  to  the  names, 
attached  to  those  types,  the  priority  over  Mr.  Loew's  names? 
I  do  not  think  so,  and,  for  this  reason,  I  would  not  undertake 
that   task,    even   if   it   were  possible*).      The  same    reasonin,' 

*)  Many  of  Dr.  Walker's  species  of  Dolichopus  are  represented  by 
female  specimens,  which  it  would  be  impossible  to  determine.

apjilies  to  Mr.  Walker's  »lcscriiifions  in  the  gonora  Clniinnps  and 
Tithtnius.  A  careful  study  of  tliese  descriptions  convinced  me 
of  tlieir  usclessnoss;  the  examination  of  Mr.  Walker's  types 
sliowcd,  that  in  most  cases,  he  did  not  know  his  own  species 
a^'iiiii,  that  he  described  the  same  species  several  times  in 
succession  (the  descriptions  being  sometimes  by  the  side  of  each 
other  in  his  works),  that  the  confused  specimens  of  different 
species  in  the  same  description.  Under  such  circumstances;  I 
(lid  not  feel  justified  in  upsetting  the  nomenclature  introduced 
by  nic  in  my  monograph. 

The  authorities  of  the  British  IMuseum,  in  a  most  praise- 
worthy, and  truly  scientific  spirit,  have  bestowed  a  great  deal 
of  labor  upon  preserving  and  labelling  Jlr,  Walker's  types. 
15iit  the  task  of  singling  out  the  original  type  of  the  description, 
from  among  the  specimens  added  afterwards,  is  by  no  means 
an  easy  one,  often  hardly  possible.  Furthermore,  it  is  a  well- 
known  fact  that  authors  are  apt  not  to  be  very  careful  with 
their  own  types;  to  remove  and  diplace  them,  when  made 
aw:irc  of  an  error;  and  Mr.  Walker,  in  this  respect,  was  not 
an  exception.  Neither  his,  nor  any  other  types  can,  therefore 
Ic  implicitly  relied  upon,  and  we  have,  ultimately,  to  fall  back 
on  the  descriptions.  —  In  rescuing  those  of  Mr.  Walker's  de- 
scriptiQns,  which  are  available  and  in  rejecting  the  renninder,  as 
useless ,  we  pursue ,  I  think ,  a  course  consistent  both  with 
justice  and  scientific  expediency.

number  of  described  Colcoptera  from  North  America,  north  of 
Mexico,  in  Mr.  Crotch's  Check  List  is  7450.  It  is  impossible 
to  make  a  similar  statement  for  the  diptera,  because,  as  ex- 
perience has  shown,  most  of  the  earlier  descrii)tions  arc  entirely 
unavailable  and  represent  species  which  exist  merely  on  paper.

available,  but  not  jet  identified,  descriptions  of  earlier  authors 
is  not  large;  and  thus  we  may  safely  assume  that, excluding  the

unavailaMe  dcscriittions ,  the  number  of  described  diptcra  of 
North  America,  north  of  Mexico,  will  hardly  reach  2500.  Hut 
the  undcsci'ibed  materials,  accumulated  in  the  collections,  if 
worked  up,  would  largely  increase,  perhaps  double,  that  nun»  er. 
Considering  the  little  attention  hitherto  paid  to  the  order  of 
diptera,  these  figures  seem  to  jtrove  that  the  number  of  existing 
species  of  diptci'a  in  North  America  will  easily  reach  and  per- 
haps exceed  the  number  of  Coleoptera. 


The  futuke  of  American  diptekologt.  Of  all  orders  of  insects, 
the  diplera  offer  probably  the  most  difficulties  to  the  dcscribcr. 
The  reason  lies  in  the  minuteness  of  the  characters,  on  which  generic 
and  specifics  distinction  are  based.  In  consequence  of  this  difii- 
culty,  there  is  and  was  more  blundering  in  this  order  of  insects 
than  in  any  other,  and  the  mischief  done  by  the  incompetent 
is  greater  here,  than  in  any  other  order.  By  ivcompdcvt  I  do 
not  merely  mean  those,  who  know  little  or  nothing  about 
diptera;  I  mean  even  dipterologists  who  attempt  to  write  about 
a  family  of  dijttera  before  having  made  a  special  study  of  it. 
And  in  this  respect,  every  one  of  us,  in  the  course  of  his  career, 
is  often  tempted  to  do  some  work,  which  he  is  incompetent  to 
perform,  and  every  one  of  us  has,  some  time  or  other,  actually 
done  such  work. 

In  order  to  preserve,  as  much  as  possible,  American  dip- 
terology  against  the  evils  of  incompetence,  I  attempted,  several 
years  ago,  to  draw  up  some  recommendations  as  to  the  best 
course  to  pursue  in  that  study  (in  A.  S.  Packard's  Ilecord 
of  American  entomology  for  1808).  As  these  recommendations 
have  lost  nothing  of  their  appropriateness,  I  may  be  allowed 
to  reproduce  them  here. 

„If  I  am  asked  now  what  the  desiderata  for  the  future 
of  this  branch  of  science  in  America  are,  I  would  answer : 

„1.  Continue  the  publication  of  North  American  diplera  in 
monographs." 

„2.  Avoid   as  much  as  possible  the  publication  of  detached 
sjxcies,  cither  singly,  or  in  numbers."   •

I)i|itcia  can  be  really  useful  in  tlio  present  state  of  nnieriran 
(liiitorology  nro  rare,  and  will  easily  suggest  themselves  to  the 
good  sense  of  the  unprejudiced.'' 

flConsciencious  monographs  are  always  useful." 

„Let  monographs  bo  prepared  of  the  families  of  diptera 
on  the  same  plan  as  the  monograph  of  the  DoVuhijunlUUtr  by 
Dr.  Loew,  or  of  tho  Tipulidne  by  me.  Let  the  series  of  these 
inoiin(!rai)hs  begin  with  the  larger  forms  and  the  more  numerous 
families,  as  the  Tabanidae*),  the  Asilidae,  the  Stratiomyidae, 
tlio  Bombylidac,  the  P^mpidae  etc.  Such  a  basis  being  laid 
with  those  families,  the  study  of  which  is  comparatively  easy, 
tlic  difficult  ones,  as  the  Chironomidae,  the  Culicidae  antl  the 
mniiorous  groups  of  tho  Muscidae,  will  follow.  The  study  of 
tlifse  difficult  families  must  be  the  work  of  specialists.  Mr. 
Wiimcrtz,  of  Crefeld,  Prussia,  devoted  more  than  twenty-five 
years  to  the  study  of  the  genus  Ceratopogon ,  the  genus  Cn-i' 
(lowii'm  and  the  family  MycctophiVHlac.  During  that  long  period 
of  jiatient  collecting,  drawing  and  describing,  he  published  only 
four  monographs  of  moderate  size.  And  it  is  certain  that, 
without  such  patient  collecting,  drawing  and  describing  for  a 
numlicr  of  years,  any  monograph  of  such  genera  as  Cnatopoyon 
or  Sviara  would  have  been  worthless.  Diptera  are  not  like  the 
otiicr  orders  of  insects,  where  a  superficial  comparison  of  two 
specimens  enables  one,  in  most  cases,  to  decide,  whether  they 
lelong  to  the  same  species  or  not.  Each  family  of  diptera 
requires  a  special  study  and  a  dipterologist  may  be  very  well 
versed  in  some  families,  without  being  able  to  express  any 
opinion  with  regard  to  questions,  concerning  others." 

„Specialization  is  therefore  the  motto  of  dipterology. 
Amateurs  may  collect  and  name  diptera,  but  do  not  let  them 
jiulilish  anything,  until  they  have  chosen  some  single  family  and 
nearly  exhausted  it  by  study  and  collecting.  If  they  try  such 
a  course,  they  will   find  that  the  e.xhaustive   study  of  a  single

(uliifss,   tliun   tiic  rutulom  doscriiition  of  numerous  new  bixcies." 

IJut  little  reflection  is  necessary  to  prove  that  inonngrapliic 
work  is  the  most  advantuf^euus  form  of  work  in  descriptive 
ent(iniul();;y.  It  implies  the  j^realest  concentration  of  out's 
Working  power,  and  for  this  very  reason,  its  greatest  economy; 
its  products  are  tlio  most  lasting,  because  a  good  monognipli 
is  not  easily  supplanted;  they  are  tlie  nu  st  UM-ful,  because  tlit-y 
facilitate  and  encourage  the  study ,  instead  of  obstructing  it,  as 
some  other  kind  of  work  is  liable  to  do. 

The  productions  of  unconsciencious  and  incapable  writers 
ooght  not  to  obstruct  better  workers  and  thus  to  impede  tlie 
progress  of  science,  let  no  one,  attemi»ting  a  monograph,  be 
deterred  by  the  number  of  earlier  descriptions  in  tlie  same  family. 
The  principal  etl'ort  should  be,  to  collect  an  alundant  material, 
representing  as  nearly  us  possil  le  the  fauna  of  a  given  region 
in  the  family  selected  for  work.  With  such  a  material  tlie 
identification  of  jtrevious  descriptions  becomes  comparatively  easy. 
>Vith  some  perseverance  and  attention,  the  available  descriptions 
will  soon  be  identified  and  the  residue  may  be  neglected,  as 
useless.  It  may  happen  that  the  whole,  or  nearly  the  whole 
of  the  previous  descriptions  proves  to  be  unavailable;  let  not 
the  w  rk  be  jirevented  by  it.  Of  the  thirty -two  earlier  de- 
scriptions of  North-American  DoVuhoinis ,  all  but  two,  were  un- 
recognizable; this  did  not  jirevent  Dr.  Loew  from  writing  a 
standard  monograjdi  of  the  genus.  The  next  step  for  the 
monographer  should  be,  to  prepare  descriptions  of  all  the  species, 
because  it  is  a  bad  plan,  in  a  monograph,  simply  to  refer  to  the 
descriptions  of  previous  authors*).  By  means  of  analytical  tables, 
or  of  figures,  the  descriptions  should  be  rendered  accessible, 
enabling  every  one,  with  the  monograph  in  hand,  to  get  at  the 
name  of  a  given  species.

It  is  greatly  to  Ic  desired  that  tlie  fauna  of  the  Northern 
ami  Miildle  States  should  be  worked  up  soon,  in  order  that  it 
may  serve  as  a  foundation  for  the  study  of  the  otiier  faunas  of 
llic  continent.  The  species,  occurring  around  the  centres  of 
civilization  should  be  described  first,  so  as  to  have  the  species 
fridii  the  more  distant  regions  compared  with  ihcm.  As  matters 
stand  now,  the  opposite  state  of  things  is  very  likely  to  happen; 
iiuiiiorous  Western  species,  brought  by  explorers,  will  be  described, 
having  the  Kastern  entomologist  in  doubt,  whether  the  forms 
wliicli  ho  finds  at  his  door,  arc  the  same  species,  or  not. 


I  tender  my  sincere  thanks  to  the  authorities  of  the  public 
Museums  and  owners  of  private  collections,  who  have  kindly 
assisted  me  in  my  work;  the  authorities  of  the  British  Museum, 
of  tlic  ^luscunj  du  .Tardin  des  Piantes,  the  Museum  of  the  Uni- 
versity in  Berlin,  the  Imperial  Zoological  Museum  in  Vienna,  and 
the  public  Museums  in  Lille,  Frankfort,  Darmstadt  and  Turin. 
Among  the  ownors  of  pri\  ite  collections  of  exotic  diptera,  I  owe 
a  siiecial  tribnti  of  gratitude  to  Mr.  Bigot  in  Paris,  Professor 
rcllardi  in  Turin  and  Mr.  v.  Boeder  in  Iloym  (Anhalt). 

Dr.  Loew  in  Gu^en,  my  correspondent  and  collaborator  for 
many  years,  was  unfortuimtely  prevented,  by  a  sudden  failure 
of  his  health,  from  assisting  me  during  the  preparation  of  this 
volume.  I  have  nevertheless  used  many  data,  found  in  his  letters, 
or  taken  down  in  looking  over  his  collection  of  North-American 
Diptera,  (the  same,  which  now  is  in  the  Museum  of  Comparative 
Zoology  in  Cambridge,  Mass.).  The  large  share  he  has  taken  in 
the  advancement  of  North  American  dipterology  speaks  for  itself. 

The  greatest  share  of  recognition  however,  belongs  to  tho

PREFACE. 


principal  works  on  North  American  Diptcra,  beginning  with  the 
Catalogue  etc.  of  1858,  have  been  published.  There  is  not  the 
slightest  exaggeration  in  saying  that,  without  the  encouragement 
and  the  support,  received  from  the  Smithsonian  Institution  for 
the  last  20  years,  the  study  of  North  American  diptera  would 
have  remained  far  behind  the  stage  which  it  has  reached  at  present. 
The  inherent  limitation  of  a  Catalogue  like  the  present  con- 
sists in  the  fact,  that  although  it  is  more  than  a  mere  compilation, 
it  is  less  than  a  monograph.  In  many  respects,  the  task  of  the 
monograi)lier  had  to  be  encroached  upon :  synonymies  established, 
species  transferred  to  the  proper  genera,  European  species,  occurr- 
ing in  North  America,  recognized  and  introduced  in  the  lists  etc. 
The  amount  of  latent  labor  of  this  kind,  accomplished  in  tliis 
Volume,  will  reveal  itself  to  those,  who  will  take  the  trouble 
to  comiiare  it  with  my  earlier  Catalogue  (for  instance  in  the 
AaiJ iliac  or  Syrphidac).  There  is  some  danger  in  carrying  this 
kind  of  anticipatory  epuration  too  far,  because  in  performing  it, 
we  cannot  expect  to  attain  the  thoroughness  of  a  monograph. 
And  it  is  in  the  belief,  that  I  have  reaihcd  the  point,  where  it 
is  time  for  me  to  stop,  that  I  liand  over  my  work  to  the  public, 
with  a  full  sense  of  its  imperfections.

EXPLANATIONS 

NECESSARY  FOR  THE  USE  OF  THE  CATALOGUE. 


A  Star(*)  before  a  specific  name  means  that  the  species  is  to  be 
found  in  the  collection  of  the  Museum  of  Comparative  Zoology^ 
in  Cambridge,  Mass.  These  stars  are  omitted  only  in  the  family 
Cecidomyidae. 

An  interrogation  (?)  before  a  specific  name  means  that  its  position 
in  the  genus  is  doubtful;  an  interrogation  before  a  synonym,  means 
that  the  synonymy  is  uncertain. 

An  exclamation  after  a  synonymy,  means  that  I  h^ve  seen  the  type 
of  the  description.  I  have  used  this  sign  whenever  I  deemed  ic 
necessary  to  inform  the  reader  of  that  fact;  but  the  absence  of 
that  sign  does  not  necessarily  mean  that  I  have  not  seen  the  type. 

Synonymies.  The  authority  for  each  synonymy  is  given  after  it,  in 
brackets;  where  no  authority  is  mentioned,  my  own  is  assumed. 

Genera.  Species  which  I  do  not  know,  may  sometimes  not  be  placed 
in  the  right  genera.;  this  applies  especially  to  the  species  from 
Mexico  and  the  West-Indies. 

Loew,  in  litt.  All  the  data,  which  I  obtained  from  Mr.  Loew,  either 
by  letter,  or  In  looking  over  his  North  American  collection  (during 
my  visit  in  Guben,  in  September  1877 >,  are  quoted  in  that  way. 

M.  C.  Z.   Museum  of  Comparative  Zoology  in  Cambridge,  Mass.  — 

Localities,    it  will  be  noticed  that,  in  some  cases,   the  localities 
marked  in  the  catalogue,  differ  from  those  which  are  found  in 
Dr.  Loew's  Centuries  of  North-American  Diptera.  These  discre- 
pancies are  not  errors,  or  omissions,  but  corrections. 
In.this  Catalogue  (as  well  as  in  my  earlier  list),  I  have  not  included 
those  species  of  earlier  authors,  which  were  marked  simply  „America". 
New-York  is  always  meant  for  the  State  of  that  name,  not  for  the  city.

Scacva  dri/diUn  Holmgren,  Ins.  Spetsb.  20.  — 
Spitzbergen  and  Greenland  (Ilolmgr.  Ins.  Nordgroenl.  100).  Not 
having  seen  the  description  of  this  species,  I  eainiot  tell  whether 
it  is  a  true  Sijrjiliit>i,  u  I'loiydiinis,  or  a  MtJuuuxioma. 

Hauva  urvuatii  Fallen,  which  Holmgren,  Ins.  Nordgroenl,  has 
from  Greenland,  belongs  to  what  1  call  the  group  of  Syiphus 
Lapponicus;  for  this  reason  I  have  not  quoted  it  in  tlic  above  list. 

i<yri>hu!<  sixmaciilotus  I'alisot-Beanvois,  Ins.  224,  Dipt.  Tab.  HI, 
f.  8.  —  Southern  States,  San  Domingo.  This  species  evidently 
belongs  to  some  other  genus  than  Syrphus.  The  author  compares 
it  to  Syijilius  ti/nijHiuitis  Fabr.  and  says  that  it  may  be  a  mere 
variety,  or  the  other  sex  of  that  species.  Sifrphus  tymimuiiix 
Fair.  Syst.  Antl.  2_'t>,  lu.  is,  I  think,  a  Vohtcclla.

thomyidae  of  North  America  'Ent.  Monthly  Magazine,  April 
1878,  p.  250 — 252),  I  have  reproduced  his  conclusions  below,  at 
the  end  of  each  corresponding  genus;  compare  also  the  note^'' 
for  thp,  generr'  conclusions. 

About  Aricia  he  writes: 

The  genus  I'oliiifs  (Koiul.)  of  wliich  the  well-knowr  (european) 
M.  larihiria  F.  is  the  principal  species,  is  not  represented  in  the 
(North  American)  collection. 

„In  the  genus  Ilifetodcsin  (Aricin  pt.  Macq.).  I  determined 
seven  distinct  (North  American)  species,  several  of  wl..ch  closely 
resemble  european,  as  Nusca  hicunim  Fall.,  A.  hif/Hbris  Meig., 
and  A.  ohscuruta  Meig.,  but  none  of  them,  I  think,  are  quite 
identical." 

,,ln  the  genus  Mi/dnen  (Aricia  pt.  Macq.).  I  found  ten  species, 
only  one  of  which  was  similar  to  any  in  Europe,  viz.  the  common 
M.  pagana  F.,  which  has  a  yellow  scutellum.*'

Observation.  Mr.  Meade  says  (1.  c.">: 
„In  Spilofinfsicr  there  where  eleven  (North  American)  species,  one 
or  two  of  which  closely  resembled  european  species,  but  were, 
however,  distinct.  One  fly  in  this  gonus  jxissessed  several  inter- 
esting characters,  wMcli  deserve  especial  notice.  There  was  only 
one  male  in  the  collection  and  it  bore  a  remarkable  resemblance 
to  Cyrlomura  (Myospila)  ninlitdhiiiula  F.  The  llt>li  longitudinal 
vein  was  curved  in  a  similar  manner  towards  the  fourth  vein, 
though  in  a  less  degree;  the  spots  upon  the  abJonien  and  the 
general  color,  size  and  appearance,  were  also  very  like  those  of 
that  fly;  but  it  diffired  in  having  the  eyes  naked  and  the  arista 
furnished  with  much  lii^orter  hairs."

Observation.  „The  genus  Limnophora  contained  eight  (N.  A.)

but  none  of  them  appeared  quite  identical.  In  the  european 
species  of  this  family,  of  which  the  A.  comjnmda  Wied.  is  the  type, 
the  eyes  of  the  males  are  sometimes  separated  by  a  rather  wider 
space  than  is  usual  among  the  Anthomyidae,  except  in  Cooiosin, 
JAfipa  etc.,  and  this  character  was  marked  in  an  e.\a?gerated 
degree  in  all  the  american  species,  so  that  it  was  difficult  to

genns  Niria,  which  he  identifloa  with  Nerins  Fabricius.  One  of  these  species, 
which  Ihelie<e  to  have  recognized,  is  a  Calobata  (C.  gtnnutra,  see  above).  It  is  very 
probable,  that  the  other  three  species  likewise  are  Calohatae  and  bare  notliing  to 
do  with  the  genus  Neriiis  Fab.,  as  defined  by  Wiedemann,  Auss.  Zw.  II,  549:

The  descriptions  are  very  short,  and  it  seems  probable,  judging  from  them,  that 
>ll  three  apply  to  differently  colored  individuals  of  the  same  speciea.

TBTFETIDAE. 


Ortallde  described  by  brevious  writers,  but  not  known  to  Mr. 
Loew,  when  he  repared  his  Monograph.  The  descriptions  are 
reproduced  in  the  Appendix  to  Monographs  etc.  Vol.  Ill,  197 
— 203,  and  discussed  by  Mr.  Loew  (except  Ortnlis  plaiyMoma 
Thomson,  which  was  added  by  me).  I  reproduce  Dr.  Loew's 
comments,  together  with  my  remarks  on  the  original  types  seen  by  me. 

Ortalls  llgatii  Say,  .1.  Acad.  Phil.  VI,  83;  Compl.  Wr.  II,  3G8.  — 
Mexico.     [Probably  liivtllia.  —  Lw]. 

Mcckclia  phlladelphlea  R.  Desvoidy,  Myod.  715.  —  Philadelphia. 
[Probably  Ceroxyn  or  Anacampta.  —  Lw.]. 

Ortalis  basails  Walker,  Dipt.  SaunJ.,  373.  —  United  States.  [Not 
Ceroxyn,  as  Walker  suggests ;  perhaps  an  Ulidina.  —  Lw.]  1  could 
not  find  it  in  the  Brit  Mus.;  the  Oiialia  baaalia  which  I  saw 
there,  is  from  Tasmania. 

Ortaliti  Massyla  Walker,  List,  etc.  IV,  992.  —  North  America.  [Seems 
to  be  an  Euxesta.  —  Lw.].    I  took  it  for  Chaitopsia  aenea. 

OrtaliH  (0  diopsidcB  Walker,  List,  etc.  IV,  995.  —  Huds.  B.  Terr. 
[Belongs  perhaps  to  the  Ulidina.  —  Lw.!. 

Ortalis  (1)  costalis  Walker,  List,  etc.  IV,  995  —  Huds.  B.  Terr. 
[Probably  likewise  an  Ulidina?  —  Lw  ].  Represented  in  the 
Brit.  Mus.  by  a  fragtnent  witliout  a  head,  and  with  only  one 
wing;  looks  like  Stpnia. 

Ortalis  bipars  Walker,  Trans.  Ent.  Soc.  N.  Ser.  V,  326.  —  United 
States.     (I  could  not  find  it  in  the  Brit.  Mus.). 

Bricinnia  flexlvitfa  Walker,  Trans.  Ent.  Soc.  N.  Ser.  V,  324.  — 
Mexico.    (I  did  not  find  this  species  in  the  Brit.  Mus.). 

Uropliora  Interrupta  Macquart,  Hist.  Nat.  Dipt.  II,  459.  —  North 
America.  [Is  a  Bivellia  of  diificuU  interpretation.  —  Lw.,  Monogr. 
Ill,  337,  32.] 

Urophora  antillamm  Macquart,  Dipt.  Exot.  4e  Suppl.  Tab.  XXVI, 
f.  17.  —  West  Indies.  (Almost  undoubtedly  an  Ulidina.  —  Lw.]. 
The  typical  specimen  in  Mr.  Bigots  collection  is  an  exceedingly 
soiled,  hardly  recognizable  specimen,  but  looks  very  much  like 
an  Euxeata. 

UHdia  ftalvifrons  Bigot  in  R.  de  la  Sagra,  etc.  82G.  —  Cuba.    [Not 
an  UUdia;  may  belong  to  the  Ulidina.  —   Ulidia  metaUici,  de- 
scribed in  the  same  place  belongs  to  the  Agromyzidae.  —  Lw.]. 
I  have  not  seen  the  specimen  in  Mr.  Bigots  collection.

In  an  inaugural   Dissertation,   entitled:    Revision  der  Gallmiicken, 

Miinster  1877,  Mr.  F.  A.  Karsch  changes  the  existing  nomenclature   of 

the  Cecidomyidae,  in  virtue  of  the  principle  of  priority.     What  we  call 

now  Cecidomyia,  he  calls  Dasyncura  Kondani;   our  Diplosis  Loew,  is 

his  Cecidomyia  Meigen;    Clinorliyncha  Loew  is   to  be  0/irliyncus   Ron- 

dani;  Epidosis  Loew  is  Porricondyla  Rondani;  Hormomyia  Loew  is  Oli- 

gotrophus  Latreille. 

The  general  adoption  of  these  changes  does  not  seem  at  all  desirable. 

2.  Ceoid.  grossulariae  Pitch  In  the  Monogr.  I,  p.  7,  Mr.  Loew 
stated  that  this  species  is  an  Axiihoiuhjlid,  a  statement  whirli  I  repeated 
on  faith,  1.  a  p.  1S9.  Dr.  Fitch's  description  renders  it  c  ident  that  his 
species  is  atrue  Cecidomyia.  It  is  probable  that,  in  making  the  above-quoted 
statement  Mr.  Loew  had  in  his  mind  the  european  Cicid.  rihcsii  Meigen, 
which,  as  appears  from  Meigen's   description,  must  be  an  AyplKnnh/litt. 

3.  Ceoid  saMois  tatatas.  „This  gall  seems  to  agree  in  its  structure

the  insects,  but  to  the  specific  difference  of  the  willows  on  which  they 
occur.  The  trifliti;^  differences  l)ctwcen  the  flies,  as  descrihed  hy  Walsh, 
as  well  as  the  circumstance  that  each  of  those  five  forms  of  galls  hdr- 
hours  only  a  single  larva,  strengthen  this  view.  The  european  relative 
of  this  species,  Cecid.  romria  Loew,  likewise  produces  differently 
shaped  galls  on  different  species  of  willows."  Cergenstamm  and  Ldw, 
1.  c   p.  71. 

5.  Oeoid.  lalieis-itrobiloidei.  „This  gall  is  the  exact  counterpart  of 
the  gall  of  Cecid.  ronnrin  Loew,  on  the  european  Salix  purpurea." 
Bergenstamm  and  Ldw,  1.  c.  p.  72. 

6.  Several  of  the  g.ills  which  I  described  as  occurring  on  hickories, 
as  esryae,  earyaecola,  holotricha,  parsicoides,  even  tnbicola,  and  other, 
undescribed  forms,  sometimes  occur  promiscuously,  on  the  same  leaf. 
It  remains  to  ascertain,  whether  ihey  are  really  produced  hy  different 
species  of  Ceciilomyia,  or  whether  most  of  them  are  not  merely  modi- 
fications in  shape  and  degree  of  pubescence,  of  the  gall  of  JJi'itlostH 
caryne, 

7.  Oeeidcmyia  poenlnm  I  am  very  much  inclined  now  to  believe 
that  the  larva  of  a  Cecidnmyia,  which  I  found  in  the  gnll  that  I  thus 
named,  was  a  mere  inquiline,  and  that  the  gall  was  the  work  of  a 
Cynipid.  The  ground  for  my  belief  is,  that  there  is  an  analogous  gall 
in  Europe,  that  oi  Nniwtirun  leuticularif),  which  frequently  harbours 
inquilinous  larvae  of  Cecidomyiae.  As  long  as  the  gall  is  on  the  leaf, 
no  larva  of  a  Cynips  can  be  found  in  it;  it  develops  only  when  the 
gall  falls  to  the  ground.  If  my  supposition  is  correct,  this  peculiarity 
of  the  gall  of  Neuroterus  would  explain  why,  in  most  cases,  I  did  not 
find  any  larvue  whatever  in  the  gall  pocuhim.

The  name  TTirtrn  appoarod  first  in  Scopoli,  EntomoloRia  Cnrniolica 
176:1,  where  Hirtea  longicornis  Stratiomys  strigata  F.)  is  dei:crilicd.  — 
For  an  unexplained  reason,  Fabriciua.  in  the  Supplement  to  his  Knto- 
mologia  Systematica,  publislied  in  1798,  took  up  the  name  Ifirtm 
(without  any  reference  to  Scopoli)  and  applied  it  to  a  numl)cr  of 
species,  the  majority  of  which  are  Bihio's.  At  the  same  time,  the 
miijority  of  Fabricius's  Bihio's  are  our  Therevae,  and  Fabricius's  There- 
vae  are  oiir  Fhasiae,  T  iclinpodao  etc.  I 

Meigpii  followed  l.ibriiiiis's  precedence  about  Ilirtea  in  his  earlier 
work:  Kla^  iHcation  etc.  (Ib04),  and  Fabricius  quoted  Meigon  in  his 
System.  Antiiatorum  U5<0'>'.  In  his  principal  work,  however,  (1818) 
Meigen  rejected  the  name  Hiiitn,  and  very  p.-operly  adopted  Geoffrey's 
earlier  name  liiliio.  Later  writers  have  followed  Moigen's  example, 
except  Zetterstedt,  who  maintains  the  name  Ilirtea,  for  our  Uibio. 

It  is  very  probable  that  Stratiomyia  longicornis  Si  upoli  (Syn. 
strigiita  P'abricius),  which  shows  several  peculiarities  of  structure,  will, 
by  and  by,  Jorm  a  separate  genus,  and  then  ]liiica  will  be  the  proper 
name  for  that  genus. 

13.  Bibio  artioulatus  Say.  According  to  Loew,  Centur.  V,  10,  Nota 
this  species  belongs  in  the  vicinity  of  li.  nbbriviatiix,  ('nitcniux, 
))ifirii)ilii^,  but  the  descriptions,  both  of  Say  and  ot  Wiedemann  are 
not  explicit  enough  for  identification. 

14.  Aiiout  Pleoia,  Penthetria,  HesperinuB,  etc.  compare  Loew,  Berl. 
Entom  Z.  II,  p.  101.  Also  by  the  same:  Berichtigung  der  geiierisclien 
Bestimmung  einiger  fossilen  Dipteren,  in  the  Zeitschr.  f.  Gcs.  Naturw.

graph  of  the  european  species.  Also  another  paper,  by  the  saiiio,  in

Iti  The  identity  of  Arthria  Kirby  with  Aspistes  and  oi  Arlhria 
fniahfi  with  Axpititcs  borcaliif  seems  to  me  very  probable,  some  dis- 
crepancies between  the  descriptions  notwithstanding. 

17.  Blepharoceridae.  Compare  Loew's  Monographic  Essay;  La 
famiglia  dei  Blefaroceridi,  in  the  Bollot.  della  Societa  Entom.  ltali;ina. 
Vol  I,  p.  8.">  il8()'.))-  —  The  same  author's .  Revision  der  Blepharotcriilae 
(in  the  Schles.  Zeitschr.  f.  Entomoi.  Neue  Folge,  Heft  VI,  l!^t■^l.ul 
1877)  is  in  the  main  a  reproduction  of  the  Italian  paper,  but  being  ot 
later  date  contains  several  additions. 

In  the  Monographs  etc  IV,  p.  3,  I  suggested  the  possibility  of  a 
relationship  between  the  Blepharoceridae  and  the  IHiichopteriini.  But 
since  I  know  the  Blepharoceridae  better,  I  am  less  inclined  to  perceive 
that  relationship  In  the  structure  of  the  eyes  this  family  stands  nearer 
to  Simulium  and  Bibio. 

18.  Asthenia  amerioana  Walker,  List,  etc.  I,  p.  28,  according  to 
Loew,  Monogi'apbs  I,  p  8,  is  not  a  Blepharoceiid  at  all,  and  any  one, 
who  reads  the  descrijjtion .  will  agr<e  with  this  conclusion  It  seems 
furthermore  that  Mr.  AValker's  type  is  not  to  be  found  in  its  place  at 
the  British  Museum;  compare  Mr.  Ilaiiday's  note  in  the  BoUetino  dtlla

Socictii  Entomol.  Italiana,  Vol.  I,  p.  90.  The  fact  that  Mr.  Walker 
hail  not  the  slightest  idea  of  the  true  characters  of  this  family,  is  further 
proved  by  his  having  dci>cribed  a  true  Hhitharocern  as  an  Ai*yn(hthuu. 

19.  Faltostoma.  I  will  add  to  Dr.  Schinor's  description,  that  the 
palpi  are  dis^tinrt;  the  posterior  tihiao  bear  one  lon|7,  slender  spur; 
ocelli  large,  distinct;  eyes  separated  by  a  broad  front,  pubescent,  facets 
of  the  same  size  on  the  whole  surface :  wings  with  a  square  anal  angle, 
like  that  of  the  other  species  of  the  family  and  unlike  their  represen- 
tation on  thn  figure  in  the  Novara-volume.  Altogether,  the  genus  bears 
out  the  character  of  the  family,  as  drawn  by  Locw  (Revision  der 
lilcpharoceridae,  p.  83). 

The  two  mexican  specimens,  which  I  have  seen,  arc  much  smaller 
than  J',  miprrhiens  from  South  America,  which  1  saw  in  Vienna,  but 
there  is  a  great  deal  of  analogy  in  the  coloring  of  the  two,  ami  they 
may  possibly  belong  to  the  same  species.  In  Turin  I  had  no  copy  of 
the  Novara  work  at  hand,  in  order  to  compare  the  description  with 
those  specimens. 

20.  Onlex.  In  the  British  Museum  I  found  the  following  typical 
specimens  of  Mr.  Walker's  species:  fxcitaun,  one  specimen,  excruriaits 
two,  imiiatiens  four  (cJV),  impiger  two,  imithicnbili^  one,  jnuvocans  two, 
stimulcws  one,  territniis  two,  prfinrhans  one.  Many  of  tueni  are  un- 
recognizable. Onlex  eont  rrens  Walker,  a  fragment,  is  evidently  ('. 
ciliatns;  Ciikx   solUcitiitiH  is  ('.  taeniurJujnchHS. 

21.  Anopheles.  About  the  european  species  of  this  genus,  compare 
Loew,  Dipteiol.  Beitriige  I. 

22.  Chironomidae.  Mr.  van  der  Wulp  has  made  a  particular  study 
of  this  family  and  has  introduced  several  new  generic  groups.  Compare 
his  articles  in  the  Tijdschr.  Entom.  Nederl.  Ver.  18.5!J,  T.  2,  1,  p.  ^—11; 
also  1.  c.  in  1H74;  ')i.*  especially  the  chapter  on  Chironomidae  in  his 
larger  work:  Diptera  Neerlandica. 

23.  Tanypug.  There  is  a  Monographia  Tanypodum  Sueciae  by 
Fries.  1823. 

24.  Ceratopogon.  J.  Winnortz,  Beitrag  zur  Kenntniss  der  Gatt. 
Ccratopofjon,  in  the  Linnaea  Entomol.,  Vol.  VI  (1852  ,  contains  a  mono- 
graph of  the  european  species,  with  remarkably  fne  plates.  Unfortu- 
nately, Mr.  Winnertz  did  not  subdivide  the  genus  in  smaller  genera, 
but  left  it,  as  it  was,  and  still  is,  a  congeries  of  heterogeneous  forms.  A 
beginning  of  such  a  subdivision  may  be  found  in  Westwood's  Synopsis, 
etc.,  p.  125;  compare  also  Rondani,  Prodr.  I,  p.  175,  and  v.  d.  Wulp, 
Diptera  Neerlandica. 

25.  On  the  Tipulidae  brevipalpi,  compare  my  Monograph,  in  the 
4ti>  Volume  of  the  Monographs  of  North  American  Diptera,  published 
by  the  Smithsonian  Institution,  in  January  1869. 

For  many  years,  I  have  made  a  particular  study  of  the  Tipulidae, 
and  of  the  hvnipalpi  especially.  This  study  has  enabled  me  to  con- 
tribute something  towards  a  better  distribution  of  this  group ,  bu*  i>as, 
at  the  same  time,  thoroughly  opened  my  eyes  to  the  still  remaining 
blanks  in  that  classification.  For  iruui  concealing  there  defects,  1  have

cnrpfiilly  pointed  them  out  in  my  volume.  The  Erioptcrina  especially, 
ii'quire  a  more  thorough  investigation,  liasnd  on  more  abundant  materials 
than  1  liad  at  my  diapnsal;  the  rolations'of  Gimiomijin  to  (loiii>iih(tnn/in 
must  1(0  more  cl.  arly  detined;  the  genera  Vlailnm,  Si<imnlnmnn,  riiifllolniiiii, 
a*  they  stand  now,  come  within  dangerous  proximity  of  the  Limno- 
philiua  and  their  true  position  is  still  a  prolilem.  In  the  Limnophilina, 
the  numerous  species  of  Limm>}ihHu,  retjuire  a  better  grouping:  I  have 
shown,  for  instance,  on  p.  201  and  2:J0,  that  the  presence  of  four,  or 
of  live  posterior  cells,  is  an  altogether  secondary  character  and  that 
some  species  with  four  cells,  like  (\<iu(ulntt(i,  are  very  closely  related 
to  some  other  species,  with  live  cells.  Numerous  hints  of  that  kind 
will  be  found  in  my  volume,  hints  which,  at  that  time,  it  was  not 
possible  as  yet  to  develop:  but  in  order  to  be  made  use  of,  there  hints 
must  be  sought  in  that  volume,  and  not  in  the  adu])tations  of  my 
classification  in  other  writers.  Most  of  the  entomologists  who  have 
nilopted  my  classification,  have  become  acquainted  with  it  through  l>r. 
Schiner's  work.  Hut  that  work  was  based  on  my  earlier  essay  (IS-VJ), 
and  do'js  not  contain  the  improvements,  introduced  in  my  later,  and 
more  voluminous,  publication  of  1S(>'J. 

21).  Limnobia  siunlans.  I  ])refer  to  retain  the  name  which  I  gave 
to  this  species:  Mr.  Walker's  description  is  absolutely  unrecognizable, 
as  I  have  shown  in  Monogr.  IV,  p.    11. 

27.  Trooholola  argns.  This  species  hardly  differs  from  the  european 
Trochohoki  amiiihitu  Lin.  (Syn.  m}nrialix  Loew).  During  my  presence 
in  London  in  July  1877  I  had  occasion  again  to  see  Liiine's  type  of 
Tipula  anmilnta  in  tlie  Linn.  Society  and  can  only  confirm  the  statement 
which  I  made  after  my  previous  visit  to  the  same  institution,  twenty 
five  years  ago:  that  Tipuhi  fiiitiulnlii  Lin.  is  the  same  as  Liiiiiiuhia 
impen'aliii  Loew.  (See  Stett.  Ent.  Zeitschr.  1)^.57,  p.  90.)  The  specimen 
is  a  fragment,  but  the  supernumerary  crossvein  is  distinctly  visible  on 
the  wing.  Thus  much  in  answer  to  I'rof  Zetterstedt's  doubts  in  the 
Dipt.  Scand.  Vol.  XIV,  p.  ii't-n.  The  fact  that  Prof.  Zetterstedt,  diu'ing 
bis  long  dipterological  career,  never  came  across  a  Swedish  specim(!n 
of  this  insect,  is  curious.  IJy  and  by  it  will  be  found  there.  In  the 
mean  time,  Prof.  Mik  in  Vienna  showed  me  specimens  which  he 
cau^rbt  in  Upper  Austria  and  in  Ga?'ein,  Styiia.  The  Imperial  Museum 
in  Vienna  (Collect.  Winthem),  con!,  .is  a  specimen  from  Lyon,  France. 
It  seems  to  be  a  nothern  and  alpine  species;  and  many  aljiine  forms 
(for  instance  Parnassius  Apollo),  occur  in  the  mountains  of  the  Dauphino 
not  far  from  Lyon.  Prof.  Mik  also  found  Limnobia  caesarta  0.  S. 
near  Gastein. 

28.  Diotrepha  nov.  gen.  Related  to  Orimnrcfa  (compare  the  figure 
of  the  wing  in  Monographs,  IV,  Tab.  1,  f.  8),  but  the  posterior  branch  ol  the 
fourth  vein  is  not  forked,  so  that  there  are  only  ihrec  posterior  cells; 
the  smill  crossvein  is  nearer  to  the  ai)ex  of  the  wing;  the  great 
crossvein,  on  the  contrary,  is  much  nearer  to  the  root  of  the  wing, 
far  anterior  to  the  origin  of  the  second  vein.  Being  thus  placed  in  a 
situation  where  the  longitudinal  veins  come  very  clo-e  together,  this

crossvein  is  short  and  may  be  easily  overlooked.  The  wings  are  very 
narrow;  the  body  delicate,  the  legs  long  and  very  slender;  empodia 
distinct. 

D.  mirahilia  n.  sp.  About  6  mm.  long,  brownish,  very  slender, 
with  lonp,  exceedingly  delicate,  white  legs;  the  tips  of  the  femora  and 
of  the  tibiae,  brown.  —  Georgia;  Texas. 

I  am  not  able,  at  present,  to  give  a  better  description  of  this 
species;  still,  its  characters  are  to  striking  that  it  will  be  easily 
recognized.  I  first  took  it  in  Georgia,  in  1858,  and  did  not  publisli 
it,  not  knowing  where  to  place  it.  Later,  I  sent  it  to  Dr.  Loew  and 
did  not  have  it  before  me  at  the  time  of  the  publication  of  Monogrnpln, 
Vol,  IV.  During  my  visit  to  Dr.  Loew  in  1877,  I  saw  the  specimen 
again  and  took  down  a  few  notes  about  its  characters,  thinking  that  it 
was  related  t/^  Thnumastaptcra  Mik.  But  I  have  seen  the  latter  in 
Viunna  since  and  have  given  up  all  idea  of  a  relationship. 

The  type  of  D.  mirahilis  is  now  in  the  Mus.  Comp.  Zool.  in 
Cambridge,  Mass.  I  have  seen  a  second  specimen,  apparently  of  the 
same  species,  taken  by  Mr.  Boll  in  Te.xas.  A  specimen  from  Cuba  in 
Mr.  Loew's  collection  also  seems  to  belong  here. 

The  name  Diotrtpha  means  fid  hy  thf.  Gods. 

29.  BhypholophuB  fasoipennis  Zett.  .ticcording  to  Dr.  Stein,  who 
quotes  Loew  m  lift.,  this  may  be  the  same  as  the  E.  idmjganoiderus 
of  Kolenat!  (Stein,  in  Stett.  Ent.  Zeitschr.  1873,  p.  241). 

30.  Erioptera  The  characters  of  the  subdivisions,  established  by 
me  in  this  genus  were  explained  in  the  Monogr.  IV,  151 — 152.  In 
their  application  to  species  from  other  parts  of  the  world  than  North 
America,  some  of  them  will  ho'.d  good,  others  will  require  to  be  remodelled. 
The  subgenus  Erio\iin-a  maintains  all  its  characters  in  the  european  species 
tftewouota  y.  flm  iscens  F.,  fuscipcvnis  M.  (as  I  saw  them  named  in  Mr. 
Kowarz's  coli.  >  tion).  Imoptera  macuIataM..  is  a  true  Acijijhonn,  agieeing 
in  all  generic  characters  with  the  american  species  of  that  subdivision. 
The  definition  which  Dr  Loew  gives  of  Aajphoia  (Beschr.  Europ.  Dipt. 
Ill,  50)  is  incomplete  and  therefore  misleading;  he  evidently  based  it  on 
my  statements  in  Monogr.  Vol.  IV,  p.  1.58  only,  and  overlooked 
the  detailed  character  of  the  subgenus,  as  given  on  p.  151  —  152.  His 
Acyphotine  therefore,  are  not  Aqiplionnn  in  my  sense  at  all.  j\lo!oi)]iilu8 
is  a  very  well-defined  form,  existing  in  Europe  and  North  America. 
The  definition  of  Mesoajphona  will  require  remodelling,  as  I  have 
stated  in  the  „Western  Diptera",  p.  199.  I  have  not  seen  any  european 
species,  belonging  in  it.  The  structure  of  the  forceps  of  the  male, 
which  untergoes  very  considerable  modifications  among  the  Erinpterae, 
in  t'.e  surest  guide  towards  the  discovery  of  affinities;  subdivisions, 
established  without  the  use  of  that  character,  are  worthless. 

In  he  Monogr.  Vol.  IV,  I  have  given  my  reasons  for  abandoning 
Dr.  Sthiner's  arrangement  of  the  Eriopierbm.  There  is  no  reason  for 
separating  Ithypliolophus  from  his  DuKijiitem ;  and,  being  united,  the 
foru'ci  name  must  be  adopted  as  the  earliest.  Tn'clioxtivlta  Scliiner 
is   composed  of  the  most  heterogeneous  elements:  1\  inaciduta  is  aii 


N0TE8.

Aqfphona;  T.  trivialis  is  a  species  which  requires  further  study,  and 
seems  related  to  Trimina;  T.  icterica  has  an  altogether  ditferent  orga- 
nisation and  has  heen  placed  hy  Loew  in  his  genus  Lipmthrix  (Heschr. 
Europ.  Dipt.,  Vol.  Ill,  p.  68);  T.  imbuta  of  which  I  had  only  a  glimpse, 
seems  to  he  axiEmpeda;  the  residue  [T.  fumpenni!^,  flavcscens,  taenia- 
iwta)  form  the  bulk  of  Erioptcrn  Meigen,  Division  A,  and  should 
therefore  retain  that  name,  even  in  the  ultimate  subdivision  of  the  genus : 
they  are  my  Eriopterae,  sensu  strictiori. 

T)  -se  criticisms,  will  not,  I  hope,  be  considered  disrespectful  to 
those  two  writers,  my  seniors  in  Dip»','rology,  and  by  far  my  superiors 
in  the  'knowledge  of  most  of  its  branches. 

31.  Sympleota  punotipennis.  Dr.  Locw,  in  his  Beschreibungen 
Europ.  Dipteren  III,  p.  54,  observes  that  Meigen,  in  his  earlier  work: 
KJassifiaition  etc.  called  the  same  species  hyhridn,  a  name  which  he 
afterwards  changed,  without  explaining  the  reason,  in  pitiidipcmuit. 
Loew  therefore  recommends  the  reinstateni'i'  of  that  name,  as  the 
earliest.  But  why  rfhonld  we  not,  on  the  same  gjound,  revive  the  generic 
name  Ilelohia  3t.  F'argeau,  which  is  older  than  Sifwplcda,  and  call  the 
species  Helobia  hyhrkla?  And  as  Si/mphcta  pimdiptnnif^  has  been 
used  in  all  the  works  and  catalogues  of  diptera  in  existence  for  more 
than  half  a  century,  we  would  never  got  rid  of  it,  but  would  have  to 
keep  both  names  in  our  memory  for  ever.  For  this  reason,  I  do  not 
share  the  opinion  of  my  esteemed  friend  and  correspondent. 

32.  Goniomyia.  I  am  aware  of  the  existence  ot  (Itihiomya  Agassiz 
(Mollusca),  but  the  derivation,  at  well  as  the  tenninution  of  that  name 
are  different. 

33.  Limnophila  humeralis  Say.  Journ.  Acad.  Phil.  Ill,  22,  5; 
Compl.  Wr.  II.  47.  Wiedemann  unites  this  species  with  L.  tevuipis 
Say,  apparently  deriving  his  opinion  from  the  comparison  of  oiiginal 
specimens.  Nevertheless,  Say  does  not  seem  to  have  been  of  the  same 
opinion.  In  a  MSS.  note  in  his  landwriting,  which  I  foumi  in  a  cojiy 
of  Wieder.iann's  Auss.  Zw.,  which  he  had  used,  lie  refers  L.  tending 
to  L.  fpacilii^  Wied.  The  book  is  now  in  the  library  of  the  Acailcniy 
of  Natural  Sciences  in  Philadolphia.  (Compare  also  ]\lonogr.  etc  IV, 
p.  41.)  A  specimen  in  the  Winthem  collection  in  Viorna,  which  1  take 
to  be  the  type  of  the  description  of  L.  gracilis,  in  labelled  tenuis  W. 

'3-  \nisomera.  About  the  european  species,  compare  Loew  in 
the  Z-     .:hr.  f.  Ges.  ^;..:urw.  Vol.  XXVI  (18G5). 

35  Eiiocera  oalifomioa.  In  describing  this  species  in  the  V.'estern 
Diptera,  I  mi  iitioned  that  Megistocent  chihiisis  Philii)pi,  was,  to  all 
appearances,  likewise  an  Eriuctra.  But  I  have  seen  it  siiice  in  Mr. 
Bigot's  collection;  it  is  a  Megisiocera,  that  is  a  Tipulid  and  not  a 
Limnobid. 

30.  Ptyohoptera.  The  tropin  of  the  larvae  of  this  genus  do  vot 
differ  materially  from  those  of  the  other  Tipnlidae;  the  characteristic 
dentate  mentum  is  present.  For  this  reason  I  am  not  inclined  to  follow 
Dr.  Brauer  in  attaching  to  the  fact,  that  the  head  of  those  larvae  is 
not   imbedded  in  the  thcracie  skin  (as  it  is  in  otlu'r  'J'ipuliJao)  sinli  a

the  Western  Diptcra,  1877,  I  adopted  tlic  more  correct  iVo/o/zAiWrf.  l!iit 
in  the  mean  time,  I'rotoiiht^l"  had  been  used  in  the  Protozoa,  so  I 
prefer  to  give  it  up  for  hlioitlnstn. 

I.  Filcliii.  I  was  quite  recently  that,  for  the  first  time,  I  saw  a 
specimen  of  this  insect  again,  after  tliose  two  whidi  I  dcsciihed  twenty 
years  ago.  Tiie  specimen  is  in  Mr  von  Koeder's  collection,  in  Iloym, 
(lermany.  It  is  a  mah>,  and  has  a  forcejis  with  very  long  hraiulies. 
Tliis  proves  that  the  specimens  winch  1  described  and  about  the  sex  of 
Miiich  I  was  uncertain,  were  females.  And  it  fnrt'.ier  proves  that  the 
female  in  tliis  genus  does  iiot  b.ave  the  sabre-shaped,  projecting  ovipo- 
sitor, wliidi  is  usual  among  tlu'  Tipnlidae.  JiViopldMn,  in  tliis  res[H'ct, 
resembles  llittdcoiiiorithn,  and  differs  from  Pljiihiqitira. 

The  specimen  in  ipiestion  was  taken  in  (ieorgia,  by  Mr.  Morrison, 
a  collector  who  has  the  faculty  of  ftu'reting  out  thf  rarest  insec's,  whatever

40.  Ti;ula  nolulico'nis.  As  to  tlie  synonymy  of  this  species.  I 
follow  Mr.  Siliioedte's  authority,  altiunigh  I  expressed  some  doubts  about 
it  in  the  I'mc.  Host  Soc.  Nat.  Hist.  l)ec.  C.  IS'd. 

41-  Tipula  casta  Loew,  Syn.  cioictdn/i  Say.  There  is  some  error 
Rt  the  end  of  Say's  description,  as  the  venation  of  a  'l'ii>iila  cannot  well 
be  like  that  of  I.iiiniohid  vtieranomyia'  rostnitn.  to  which  he  apparently 
refers.    This  error  i>revented  Dr.  Loew  from  identifying  Say's  description. 

•12.  Mr.  \Valker'>  Tipu^ae.  After  taking  some  notes  from  the  tvpes 
in  the  Ihit.  Mus.  1  !iope<l  to  establish  the  synonymy  of  some  of  .^Ir. 
Walker's  species  with  Dr.  Loew's.  Dot  upon  comparing  Mr.  Walker's 
dt^scriptioiis  with  the  specimens,  I  found  that  tlioj  did  not  agr*';.  with 
what  I  thought  I  had  seen.    So  1  quote  such  synonymies  wilii  a  query. 

Tiintld  iilhrud  Walk.  I  suspect  the  synonymy  from  a  short  note 
I  made  in  London  in  18")!);  Mr.  Walker's  description  however  lenders 
it  doubtful. 

4;?.  Tipula  fuliginosa.  Although  this  species  is  not  rare,  I  have  never 
seen  the  male  yet.

of  tlie  same  spicies  in  Mr.  Hif^ot's  collection  in  Paris,  all  from  Atintralia.

titied  it  with  (toioiilioru  t)ili(ii)i()-.ii  Say,  wliich  is  a  Tipula.  Dr.  Loew 
(Linn.  Entom.  V,  p.  'M)2)  noticing  this  error,  proposed  to  call  this 
species  I'tilmii/iKi  Mnviiiinrtii.  As  it  now  appears  that  the  species 
belongs  to  a  different  country,  there  is  no  reason  for  not  calling  it 
rtiloijtjixn  fiili<ii)ios(i  Macijnart,  only  striking  out  the  (piotation  from  Say. 
Jiiloili/iifi  inctn  Schiner,  Novara.  p.  8S  from  Sidney  is  the  same  species, 
as  any  one  will  perceive  by  comparing  iJr.  Schiner's  description,  with 
Macquarfs  figure. 

46.  Bolbomyia.  The  passage,  quoted  from  Dr.  Loew's  „lk'rnstein  u. 
Bernsteinfauna"  reads  as  follows:  „A  secoml  geiuis,  more  or  less  related 
to  Itiippelia,  may  he  placed  among  the  Xylo|)ha^idae,  its  somewiiat 
aberrant  venation  notwithstanding  I  call  it  Jldlhonn/ia  and  distinguish 
two  sj'e'-ies  Characteristic  is  the  shape  of  the  antennae;  the  third 
joint  consists  of  four  or  five  divisions,  the  first  of  which  is  much  larger 
and  swollen."  —  The  other  i)a>sage,  ([uoted  from  Silliiiian's  Journal, 
only  C(  .itains  a  remark  about  the  difliculty  of  placing  this  species  in 
:^iiy  of  the  adopted  families.  A  passage  of  the  same  import  is  that  in 
the  Jionographs,  Vol.  I. 

47.  Coenomyidae  I  restore  this  family,  adopted  by  most  of  the 
previous  authors,  but  suppressed  in  Loew's  Monngiaplis,  A'ol.  I.  It 
seems  to  me  somewhat  prematur.;  to  unite  it  with  the  Xylophagidae. 

47  a.  The  name  Sious  was  first  used  by  Scopoli  ilTO;!),  for  a 
species  of  Mi/oiiti.  —■  Fabricius,  in  the  Supplement  lo  his  Entomologia 
Systi'matica  (17US),  arbiu'arily  misapplied  it  \o  {'oinoiin/ia,  but  tlu;  latter 
name  having  been  published  two  years  earlier  by  Latreille,  was  main- 
tained. 

J/atreille  (Hist  Nat.  des  Crust,  et  des  Ins.  1^^0-t),  used  the  same 
name  >>iri(s  in  a  third.  altOf^ether  different,  sense,  for  the  gciuis  now 
called  Tiiclnjdruuiid.  As  such,  it  appears  on  Meigen's  plate  2'-i,  in  the 
third  volume  of  his  princijial  work.  In  the  letteri)ress,  Meigen  rejects 
Slrii'^  and  maintains  Tachydromia,  introduced  by  himself  in  ISU:!. 
Jjatreille  i>res(  rved  the  name  .SVwrs-  (for  Tachydromia)  even  in  his  last 
work,  I'amilles  Naturelles  0""'- ') 

Finally,  Dr.  Schiner  reviv  d  Sicus  for  the  species,  for  which  it  was 
originally  intended  by  Scojioli.

Hnh.  Wliite  Mts.,  N.  H.  (E.  P.  Austin;  liis  labels  were  maikotl: 
jj^woods"  and  „alpine").  Three  females,  only  one  of  which  is  well  i)re- 
served;  the  other  is  greazy;  the  third  teneral,  and  for  this  reason  ol  a 
uniformly  reddish  color. 

This  remarkable  insect  looks  like  a  Leptid  with  th"  antennae  of 
Cocnomyia.  I  refer  it  to  the  genus  Arthroixas  Loew,  Stett.  Zcit.  i8o0, 
with  which  it  seems  to  agree  in  the  generic  characters.  It  differs  liom 
the  figures  given  by  Dr.  Loew,  in  having  the  anal  cell  open,  the  discal 
narrower,  the  posterior  cells  2,  8,  4  longer.  The  second  posterior  cell 
is  very  narrow  at  base  and  the  upper  Itranch  of  the  third  vein  is  not 
bisiiiuato.  I  cannot  at  present  compare  this  species  to  A.  aiiuricnna, 
and  cannot  therefore  tell  whether  the  structure  of  the  kicl-  is  the  same 
in  both.  In  A.  hj^tin  two  deep,  diverging  farrows,  run  from  the  base 
of  the  antennae  to  the  oral  oilge,  and  divide  the  face  in  tliree  portions. 
Besides  A.  sibirica,  americmin  and  hiitis,  a  species  ot  the  siime  gemis, 
A.  luoin ,  occurs  in  amber.  The  doubts  nf  ])r.  liOew  about  tht»  systi"- 
niatic  position  of  Arthrojuaft  are  revealed  in  the  fact,  tiiat  he  refers  it: 
to  the  Coeiiomijitlae  in  tliii  Stett.  Zeit.  and  to  the  Aatitlhoiiifriihic  in 
the  pamphlet:  Der  Bernstein  utd  die  Bernsteinfauna,  although  both 
papers  appeared  in  the  same  year  1850, 

The  genus  Cocmira  IMgot,  from  Chili  (Ann.  Soc.  Entomol.  de 
France,  1857)  is  most  closely  allied  to  Aiihroinax  and  has  even,  in  the 
coloring  of  the  species  described  a  certain  family  resemblance  to  .1. 
fil'iriv(t.  In  fact  it  remains  to  be  siiown  yet,  in  what  tiio  ilitForonce 
between  the  two  genera  consists.

writers,  even  tlioso  of  the  usually  so  accurate  Wiedemann,  arc  not  to  be 
relied  on.  I  had  an  opj)ortuiiity  to  convince  myself  of  it,  in  Vienna. 
My  examination  of  Wieilenianu's  types  was  confined  to  ('//(//vo/is  o^jso/f/ds, 
AVied.,  as  the  type  of  (Ihincun  must  .)e  in  Copenhagen,  that  of /(/'hk/cxs 
in  Kerlin,  and  ('.  fl,iri(his  Riu\riUnlu  cannot  be  doubtful;  V.  fiilinino^us, 
which  should  be  in  Vienna,  I  did  not  find.  C.  o^vo/(^(s  is  represented 
in  Wintliem's  collection  by  a  sinple  female,  marked  as  a  type.  This 
specimen  does  not  agree  with  Wiedemann's  own  description,  because  he 
compares  the  wings  of  oAso^f^s-  to  those  of  ('.  hidii^  from  Ihazil,  which 
species  has  hoth  basal  cells  hyaline,  while  the  tyjiical  specimen  in  (juestion 
has  the  first  basal  cell  brown  and  answers  the  description  ot  my  ('.  )iii)ro-us. 
In  Wiedemann's  collection  there  arc  three  specirneiis;  one  of  them  beais 
a  lahel  in  Wiedemann's  handwriting  ..dlifiohtioi  in.'' ;  it  aj;rees  with  the 
above-mentioned  specimen  in  Wintliem's  collection;  so  does  the  second 
specim.n;  but  the  third  i evidently  the  one  to  which  Wiedemann 
aliiides  in  his  description  as  a  variety,  rereivid  from  rennsylvaiiia'  is 
a  different  sjiecies,  I  thii\lv  that  which  I  ilescrilped  as  jiiiirithitn^  Macii- 
In  aljiisting  the  nomenclature  so  as  to  bring  it  into  agreement  witli 
these  facts,  we  would  only  hivolve  it  into  u  hopeless  conhision:  and 
for  this  reason,  it  will  be  much  preferable.  I  think,  in  this,  as  in 
other  similar  cases,  to  take  the  nomenclature  of  my  IVodrouie,  however 
imperfect,  as  the  basis  for  future  work,  and  to  let  alone  the  older  de- 
scriptions. This  a]);>lies  of  course,  a  fortiori,  to  the  descriptians  of 
Mac((uart  and  Walker. 

(iS.  Cbrysops  obsoletus.  Wiedemann's  description,  as  1  have  shown 
in  the  preceding  note,  agrees  with  my  ('.  ohnolitiis,  but  disagrees  with 
the  typical  sjiecimens  in  bis  own  collection.  Furthermore,  one  of  these 
types  niei. tinned  in  the  description  as  a  variety',  belongs  to  a  different 
sjtecies.  For  the  reason  stated  in  that  note,  I  do  not  change  the 
nomenclature  of  my  Prodrome 

()9.  ChryEops  quadrivittatus.  I  did  not  possess  this  species,  when 
I  published  my  rrodrome.  1  t'liuul  it  since  among  the  sjx't'unens  from 
J)r.  Ileyden's  collecting  in  Nebraska,  which  years  ago,  1  had  couimuni-

I  have  taken  great  pains,  in  I'aris  and  in  Vienna,  to  verify  my 
identifications  of  Macijuart's  and  Wiodemann's  descriptions  of  Tithnnns 
and  I  have  had  the  satisfaction  of  tiiuling  thom  justitiud  in  all  instances, 
M-itii  tlio  single  excejjtion  o<  T.  s>t!'  ii'mns  Marcj.  In  examining  Wicile- 
niann's  and  Winthcm's  collections  in  Vienna,  great  care  should  be  taken 
to  discriminate  the  true  types,  from  spccinnMis  that  are  not  types,  even 
■when  hihelled  in  Wiedemann's  own  liandw  riling.  I  have  explained  in 
the  Preface,  some  facts  l.iearing  on  the  distrilmtion  of  the  types  in 
those  <;ollections.  The  tyi)es  ot  NVicdcinaiin's  N.  A.  Tahani  are  now 
all  in  Wiiitlienrs  collection.  The  Taliai\i  in  Wiedemann's  collection  are 
Koinetinies  wrongly  named.  Tims  T.  ]{iiiiiv(inUii  is  represented  hy  three 
sjiecimens,  which  .are  not  that  species  at  all;  Wiedemann  descrilxd  a 
female  with  spotted  wings;  those  three  specimens  are  males  and  hav.! 
innnacnlate  wings.  The  true  type  is  in  \\iiitlii'm"s  collection.  In  the 
latter  collection,  there  are  likewise  several  wrmigly  nana.vl  I'ahani,  of 
course,  not  types.  T.  zonatis  is  lalielled  V.  il<iri)Hs  Wied.  with  a 
qnery;  the  type  of  Wiedemann's  description  is  in  Copenhagen.  T.  jhxco- 
2>>iiictiifns  ]\lacq.  is  lahelled  niriiiiulux  i"'ah.  etc. 

After  having  gone  through  tJie  hdior  of  examitiing  so  many  tyjies 
of  earlier  writers  1  have  liecome  more  than  ever  convinced  ot  the 
necessity  of  b.ising  our  nomendature  on  ric<t'jtii:(tl>lc  lUscriiiliohs  and 
not  merely  on  typical  specimens.  And  for  this  rea-on  I  have  prefeiied 
to  leave  the  nomenclaiure  ot  my  luonogriipli,  as  much  as  possiiile, 
undistnrhed,  until  iiiiotlier  entomologist  is  in  a  position  again  to  subject 
the  whole  genus  to  a  tlniro'inh  revision. 

7().  Tabanus  abdom  naha  1-  nhr.  is  rqiresentcd  in  the  Mns.mii  of

ill  my  i'roilidinc. 

77.  Tabanus  catenatus.  As  I  suspected  in  my  Monograph,  7'. 
CiiienatHs  Walker  is  repieseiited  in  the  IJrit.  .Mus.  by  speciineis  bebinging 
to  two  (litVerent  species;  but  it  turns  out  upon  examiniiiion  of  these 
specimens,  that  neither  of  them  is  my  7.  cni, imtii-i.  One  of  tliein  is 
the  ])ale-colored  variety  of  T.  (urbidus  Wied.,  the  other  is  J',  iji'jindm^

Thus  7".  entmatiis  Wnlker  must  be  cancelle<l;  T.  rrrcihnx  of  the

NOTES. 


^'eve^thelesa ,   as    Mr.    Macquarfs    description    is   very  unsatisfactory, 
I  prefer  to  retain  the  name  which  I  gave  to  this  species. 

79.  Tabanns  oheliopterns  Rondani.  I  have  seen  the  original  type 
of  the  description ,  preserved  in  the  Royal  Museum  in  Turin.  It  is  a 
very  much  rubhcd  female  specimen,  which  seems  to  belong  to  T.  fronto. 
Of  the  wliite  abdominal  triangles,  not  a  vestige  is  left,  which  explains 
their  being  omitted  in  the  description. 

80.  Tabanus  imitans  Waliier.  (Syn.  of  T.  fuficoptnidatm  Macq.). 
In  order  to  understand  Walker's  description,  it  must  be  borne  in  mind 
tliat  the  T.  ahdomiunlix ,  to  whom  he  compares  it,  is  not  that  species 
at  all,  but  the  same  T.  jmropuuctatus  Macq. 

81.  Tab;nu8  gracilis  Wied.  Wiedemann's  description  was  drawn 
from  a  single  specimen,  the  hind  legs  of  which  were  wanting.  There 
are  two  specimens  in  the  Vienna  Museum  (Winthem  collection),  one  of 
which  answers  this  description.  It  is  of  the  size  and  shape  of  my 
T.  loiif/uti,  hut  more  reddish,  the  wings  more  tinged  with  brownish  etc. 
The  abdominal  pattern  is  very  much  faded,  it  seems  to  be  a  species 
which  I  do  not  know,  but  which  is  closely  allied  to  my  /o«r/(t.s. 

82.  Tabanus  lineola  Macq.  Dipt.  Exot.  I,  1,  146,  49  must  be  some 
other  species  than  Ihuokt  Fab 

83.  Tabanus  suloifrons.  The  type,  in  Mr.  Bigot's  collection,  is  my 
tecfni^.  As  the  descri])tion  is  sufficiently  recognizable,  I  admit  the 
priority.    Macquart  has  fiilcifwus,  which,  of  course,  is  a  misprint. 

84.  Tabanns  turbidus.  The  type,  now  in  Winthem's  collection 
has  very  j)ale-colored  wings. 

8.5.  Tabanus  unicolor.  The  type  in  Mr.  Bigot's  collection  is  an 
unrecognizable  specimtn ,  perhaps  7'.  te)ier;  however  there  is  an  earlier 
T.  vhicolor  WMed.  from  Brazil.  Mr.  Rondani  (Archivio  etc.  Canestr. 
Ill,  fasc.  I,  1863)  proposed  to  cull  the  species  T.  hitrritiu^ ,  insteaii  of 
iniicohr;  but  the  species,  as  a  hopelessly  doubtful  one,  be  better 
cancelled. 

86.  Tabanus  variegatus  Fab.  The  type  in  Fabricius  collection, 
from  which  Wiedemann's  description  was  drawn,  being  probably  de- 
stroyed, this  will  remain  a  doubtful  spocies.  Ihe  specimen  in  Winthem's 
collection  (>iot  tyiie)  is  T.  fuxcopwictatui^  Macq.  It  is  very  probable 
that  my  interpretation  of  Wiedemann's  description  is  the  correct  one. 

87.  Tabanus  marginalis  I'\ib.  Wiedemann  says:  ,,Die  Art  phrase 
babe  ich  nach  einem  sehr  schon  erhaltenen  Exeniplare  des  Wiener 
Museums  verbessert  etc."  1  looked  for  this  specimen  in  the  general 
collection,  in  Vienna,  but  could  not  find  it.  In  the  Winthem  collection 
a  specimen  labelled  marginalis  B'ab.  var.  and  marked  as  type,  is  my 
T.  cerastes.  It  cannot  well  be  the  specimen  described  by  Wiedemann, 
because  he  would  have  noticed  the  peculiar  structure  of  the  antennae 
(at  present,  these  are  broken  in  the  specimen.  At  any  rate  the  T. 
iiiarfiiualis  of  Fabricius  is,  and  will  remain  a  doubtful  species,  and  be 
better  dropped. 

88.  Tabanus  quinquevittatus.  In  the  Winthem  collection  (Vienna) 
there  is  a  cj  and  a  V  vboth  marked  as  types),  from  Savannah,  and  not

from  Mexico.  They  look  i  xccedingly  like  rnntnlis.  Of  T.  cnifnlh,  the 
types  in  WitMlpmann's  collection  arc  very  poor  specimens,  and  for  this 
reason,  prohalily,  his  description  is  unrecognizai)le. 

89.  Tabanus  fulvescens  Walker.  I  have  seen  Walker's  type  in  the 
Brit.  Mus.;  it  is  T.  hivohr  Wied.  What  I  dv.scrilted  as  T.  fiihrMrus 
is.  very  prohahly  only  a  variety  of  T.  hicuhir,  with  gray,  instead  of 
yellowish  pleurae.     A  fimilar  variety  occurs  in  T.  fiilnthis. 

90.  Tabanus  Craverii.  May  i)ossil>ly  hu  an  Ati^lotus.  The  typical 
specimens,  females,  looked  very  much  that  way. 

91.  Mr.  Loew  {in  lilt.)  proposes  to  divide  in  the  Lei  lidac  two  sections : 
I.  Psammoryoterina,  without  facial   8wellin<;  a'ld  with   a  strong 

spur  on  the  front  tibiae;  genera:    1.  riidinift,  as  the  typical 
genus,    closely  allied    to:    2.   I'smniiiori/chr   (Syn.  Vermileo); 
3.  Tn)i(otri(li((. 
II.  Leptina,  with  a  facial  swelling,  but  without  spur  on  the  front 

tibiae;  all  the  other  genera. 
About  Lvididuc  compare   also  Fmiicnlthl,   Verb.  Zool.   Bot.  Ges. 
1867,  p.  495. 

92.  Leptis  Servillei  Guerin.  I  suspect  this  is  nothing  but  Chr. 
ornatn  Say.  But  the  femora  are  said  to  be  brown  V  The  figure  however 
does  not  show  it. 

93.  Atherix  filia  Walker;  is  either  ])ii)i(tiiinnn'x  Say,  ov pJuuihin  Say. 

94.  Leptis  cir.erea  Hell  according  to  the  description,  cannot  well 
belong  to  Lciitix;  compare  antennae,  shajjc  of  anal  cell  etc.  |Loew,  in 
lift.].  The  type  in  Mr.  Uellardi's  collection  is,  unfortunately,  nearly 
destroyed    only  the  thorax  and  wings  are  left. 

95.  Spania  edcta;  the  specimen  in  the  15rit.  Mus.  seems  to  be  a 
real  Sjiavin,  that  is  a  Lej)tid  with  a  stout,  styliform  arista. 

96.  Glutops.  I  am  uncertain  about  the  position  of  this  extra- 
ordinary genus,  but  prefer  this  place  to  any  other. 

97.  II.  Loew's  Monograph:  Ueber  die  Euiopiiischen  llaulitlicgou 
(Diptera  Asilica)  in  the  Linn.  Ent  Vol.  II,  III,  IV:  Suppl.  in  Vol.  V, 
1847 — 1851,  laid  the  foundation  to  the  systematic  distribution  of  this 
family.  This  work  was  supj)leniented  by  him  in  numerous  lator  puldi- 
cations,  especially  ii.  the:  IJemerkuiigen  iiber  die  Familie  der  Asilitlen, 
Berlin  1851,  and  Die  Diptern-Kauna  Sudafrica's,  Berlin  I8fi0,  About

may  be  consulted :

1866,  p.  649-722;  Nac'itrag,  p.  845-848).  The  usefulness  of 
this  paper  is  somewhat  impaired  in  consequence  of  the  misappre- 
hension under  which  it  was  written,  about  the  distribution  of 
Wiedemann  tj^tes  between  the  so-called  Wiedemann's  and  the 
Winthem's  collections,  now  both  in  the  Vienna  Museum.  I  have 
explained  the  whole  matter  in  the  preface  to  this  volume  Some 
curious  mistakes  have  arisen  in  conseqiRnce,  as  for  instance,  in 
the  case  oi  J'.'ro.r  na^txtDis  (see  my  note  125),  But  Dr.  Scliiner's

the  abdomen,  at  the  base,  are  clothed  with  white  hairs;  the  surface 
of  the  abdomen  is  clothed  with  short,  microscopic  pile,  which,  in  a 
certain  light,  appears  golden -yellow.  Legs  black,  tarsi  more  or  less 
dark  chestnut- brown;  femora  with  the  usual  white  hairs,  tibiae  with 
white  bristles,  the  front  pair  with  some  black  bristles  on  tlie  underside. 
Wings  hyaline;  a  grayish  tinge  on  the  distal  half  is  hardly  perceptible; 
venation  normal.

Length:  13—14  mm. 

Female.  Head  black,  densely  grayish-pollinose  on  the  face,  slightly 
on  the  sides  of  the  front;  mystax  altogether  black;  hairs  on  the  occi- 
put black  above,  white  below;  antennae  black,  third  joint  but  little  lon- 
ger than  the  two  preceding,  taken  together.  The  usual  thoracic  stripes 
are  dark  brown,  the  white  or  yellowish  pollen  in  their  intervals  forms 
the  following  pattern:  a  median  line,  attenuated  posteriorly;  a  figure  in 
the  shape  of  a  tuning-fork,  having  the  end  of  the  handle  in  front  of 
the  Ecutellum,  connected  with  the  end  of  the  median  line ;  a  broad  stripe 
on  each  side  between  the  humeral  and  the  antescutellar  callosities,  atten- 
uated and  abbreviated  before  reaching  the  latter;  these  lateral  stripes 
are  twice  connected  by  pollinose  crossbands  with  the  branches  of  the 
tuning-fork,  the  second  time,  along  the  thoracic  suture.  Scutellum  black, 
with  black  pile:  grayish  pollinose  anteriorly.  Pleurae  grayish-pollinose, 
with  a  stripe  of  more  dense  silvery-gray  pollen  on  the  lower  part;  the 
taniike  fringe  of  hairs  in  front  of  the  halteres  is  black.  Abdomen  black, 
shining,  with  a  bluish  reflection  on  the  first  five  segments ;  each  of  these 
has  a  large  spot  of  white  pollen  on  each  side,  against  the  posterior 
margin;  the  sides  of  the  abdomen  are  clothed  with  white  hairs, 
whirh  become  gradually  shorter  posteriorly  and  do  not  reach  beyond 
the  tilth  segment.  Legs  black ;  bristles  on  the  tibiae  black ;  femora  with 
long  white  hairs  on  the  undersi  :e;  the  last  pair  also  on  the  upper  side, 
near  the  base.  Halteres  rcddishyellow.  Wings  hyaline  on  their  p:  oxi- 
mal  half,  including  the  discal  cell;  the  distal  half  has  a  slight  grayish 
tinge;  crossveins  clouded  with  brown. 

Hah.  Catskill  Mountain -House,  NY.,  July;  White  Mountains,

between  the  brown  thoracic  stripes  and  the  whitish  ■  pollinose  intervals 
between  them;  the  altogether  black  beard  etc.  will  help  to  distinguish 
this  species.

(a  very  probable  one) ,  tliat  Macq'iart  overlooked  tbe  spurs  on  the  front 
tibiae. 

10'^.  Dirgmitei  nmbrinQi.  I  am  not  quite  sure  whctlier  tb«  speci- 
men of  Dnni/p.  IxmiUs  Walker,  in  the  lirit.  Mus.  belongs  here  or  to 
Diogmitcn  diitcolor. 

109.  Diogmitei  annnlatvi  BlRot.  This  species  docs  not  belong  to 
Senohmtix  Mucq.  from  which  it  differs  in  the  structure  of  the  anttMinae 
and  of  the  hypopygium.  It  may  be  placed  provisionally  in  the  gentis 
JJiogmUcs,  however,  as  a  separate  section  (Loew  in  lilt.). 

110.  D.  bnumeni.  Maoiuart's  synonymy  is  not  to  be  relied  on,  ai 
he  evidently  mixed  up  several  species  of  Dioginites. 

111.  D.  Dnillioi.  The  description  seems  to  betray  a  lUnt/miltit, 
nevertheless  certain  statements  rendi^r  this  interpretation  doubtful;  hence 
the  isolated  position  given  to  this  species.    tLoew  in  lilt.) 

112.  Laphria  lata.  I  have  seen  the  type  in  Lille  and  have  tuken 
a  note,  which  enabled  roe  to  determine  a  specimen  from  Louibiana  in 
the  type-collection  (now  in  the  M.  C.  Z.). 

113.  Laphria  Aleanor  Walker,  is  the  variety  of  L.  thomn'cn  which 
has  the  intermediate  abdominal  segments  beset  with  yellow  pile. 

114.  Laphria  affinis  Macq.,  the  type  of  which  1  saw  in  .Mr.  Bitot's 
collection,  looks  very  much  like  L.  thoriicim  in  the  variety  with  alto- 
gether black  abdominal  pile.  The  description  speaks  of  ulntv  huirs 
about  the  head,  which  do  not  exist  in  L.  thoracica,  but  do  not  shake 
my  belief  in  the  synonymy. 

lit  In  the  Hanksian  collection,  presened  in  the  Drit.  Mus  and 
containing  the  types  of  Fabricius,  there  is  an  AsHus  iiniisna,  with  the 
reference:  Sine  Inn.  Nr.  1.  The  specimen  bears  a  label  .Innrim,  and 
another  label  with  the  word  ttfin:  This  specimen  is  Liii:liiia  linjisun 
Say.  In  the  Specien  Jni*ectonim  the  locality  is  niven  simply  as  ...imniai"; 
in  the  Sijxt,  Anil  we  find  „in  America  meridionuli",  eviilently  a  later 
and  probably  erroneous  addition.  In  both  works  however,  the  „Muheum 
Dom.  Banks"  is  quoted,  as  containing  the  type  of  the  desiiiptioii. 

llti.  Laphria  analii  Macj  Synonymy  hardly  iloulittui,  although 
Macquart  says'.  „les  cinq  premiers  segments  a  poils  jauues''. 

117.  Laphria  fiaTibBrbii  Harris.  The  orijj;itift.  tY|)e  still  exi^sts  in 
Dr.  Harris's  collection,  in  Boston.  I  do  not  tliiiik  tiiat  it  (li(Tcr!s  froui

L.  formidolosa  Walk,  and  zantbsenema  Wicd.  in  tbo  geinis  Andrenosoma. 
He  is  wrong  about  riihrirmtrix  which  is  a  Ltmiiirin. 

119.  The  genera  of  the  Aiilina  are  tabulated  by  Loew  in  the 
Linnaea  Entom.  Ill,  p.  402  and  IV,  p.  14H;  nhn  later  in  the  Diptern- 
Fauna  Sildafrika's,  p.  143.  Compare  aUo  Schiner,  Fauna  Aubtriaca, 
Diptera,  1,  p.  142. 

120.  Haliopbora  soopifer  Wied.  It  seems  probable  that  Mncquart's 
M.  ncoiiifcr  is  not  tbe  same  as  Wieilemann's.  Scliiner,  Verb.  Zool  Bot 
Ges.  18(5(),  p.  77,  has  a  .V  srn/  i/rr  Bell,  non  Wied.  Cuba;  which  evi-

and  never  described  any  insects  from  Cnha.  In  the  Piptcra  of  the 
Novara  Expedition,  however,  Schiner  quotes  Wiedemann's  and  Mar- 
quart's  descriptions  as  synonymical.  I  follow  Loew,  in  lift,  and  call 
tlie  Cuban  species  M.  Mncunnrtii.  Jacnnicke  lias  the  same  remark 
about  the  distinctness  of  the  two  species  (Nenc  Ex.  Dipt  p.  54). 

121.  There  is  another  Trnpanea  (Promachiis')  apivora  \Valk.,  Trnns. 
Ent.  Soc.  N.  S.  V,  p.  276,  from  Biirmah,  which  Yioa  the  same  propcnis- 
ity  for  destroying  bees.  Mr.  Walker's  name  having  the  priority,  I  have 
named  Dr.  Fitch's  species  P.  Fitch ii  in  the  M.  C  Z.  collection. 

122.  Prsnaehns  qnadratni.  Observe  the  misprint  in  Wiedemann's 
diagnosis:  S  for  i\  correctly  given  in  his  Dipt.  exot. 

123.  Promaohni  faioipennis.  The  identity  of  Macquart's  and  Dcllardi's 
species  seems  doubtful. 

124.  Promaobu  qnidratni  Bell.  If  this  species  docs  not  turn  out 
to  be  a  synonym  of  some  other,  the  name  will  have  to  be  cluingcd,  on 
account  of  J'.  qundrniuH  Wiel. 

125.  Eraz  aeatnsni.  I  have  seen  Wiedemann's  type  in  the  Win- 
thorn  collection ;  it  is  the  Erax  aestumut  of  the  Mus.  Cuinp.  Zool.  Sclii- 
ner's  statements  (Verb.  Zool.  Bot  Ges.  1860,  p.  6^i6>  are  baseil  upon  a 
misapprehension  of  the  true  type  ot  Wiedemann,  a  misapprehension  the 
source  of  which  has  been  explained  by  me  in  the  preface  to  this  volume. 
But  although  the  question  of  AhUku  ncKtutwn  Wiedemann  is  thus  settled, 
the  identity  of  this  species  with  AfiHua  nrittuini/t  of  Linn6  and  Fabririus 
may  still  be  called  in  doubt,  as  the  descriptions  of  both  authors  s])uak 
of  three  white  segments  on  the  abdomen  of  the  male,  while  -1.  aestunuK 
Wicd.  has  only  two.  Harris's  Ins  Inj.  to  Vegct.  3'i  edit.,  Tab.  I,  f.  4, 
shows  only  tuo  stripes.    Compare  also  the  note  128 

120.  Erai  ambignns,  interrnpt'is,  argyrogaiter,  m&oulatus.  Macquarf  s 
typo.s  of  these  species,  which  I  have  seen  in  the  Museum  in  Lille  and 
in  Mr  Bigot's  collection,  look  very  much  alike.  However,  I  did  not 
compare  them  with  the  descriptions;  the  latter,  which  I  have  read  since, 
slinw  that  arfiyrogaster  has  a  lari^e  male  liypopyRiuni,  nmhifiuun  a  re- 
markably small  one  for  an  Erax.  E.  mnciilatiin,  judging  from  the  figure, 
has  likewise  a  large  hypopygium.  For  the  species  which  I  have  seen 
from  Texas  I  preferred  the  name  of  amhiffuux,  as  the  most  certain;  the 
hypopygium  of  the  male,  in  this  species,  is  remarkably  small  for  an  Erax. 
I  admit  at  the  same  time  that  the  female  of  this  species  looks  exactly 
like  the  figure  of  the  female  of  E.  maculatuit  in  Macq.  D  Exot.  I,  2 ; 
Tab.  IX,  f  6.  Schinor  (Verb.  Zool.  Bot.  Ges.  1807,  p.  mi)  compares 
E.  maculatus  to  its  next  relative,  E  striola,  the  specimens  of  both  being 
from  Brazil. 

127.  Asilni  apioalii.  Wiedemann's  type,  a  female,  was  in  his 
collection,  hut  is  no  more  in  it.  See  Schiner,  1.  c.  —  Walker,  List,  etc. 
Vll,  p.  (>19,  puts  this  species  in  the  genus  Erax,  where  indeed  it 
may  belong. 

128  Erax  laieivni.  All  that  Schiner  (Verb.  Zool.  Bot.  Ges.  1860, 
p.  686,  Nr.  63)  says  about  this  species,  results  from  the  misapprehension 
under  which  he  was  laboring.    See  my  note  125.

black,  broader  than  the  thorax,  clothed  with  soft,  white  hairs,  mixed 
with  black  ones;  the  white  hair  is  especially  apparent  on  the  tex 
and  the  sides  of  the  front,  also  as  a  small  tuft  on  each  side  under  the 
antennae,  near  the  orbit  of  the  eye,  and  as  a  border  round  the  clypeus.

nym of  his  B.  fthttuH.  Wiedemann,  in  Munofii:  Mitlnr.,  and  Wcstwood,

141.  Nemeitrinidae.  Dr.  Loew  (l>ipternf.  Sudafr.  p.  245)  proposes 
to  call  this  family  Hinnonturidae ;  Dr.  Schiner  (Novara,  p.  105)  oppo- 
bes  the  change. 

142.  Hirmoneua  elania.  Since  describing  this  species,  I  have 
seen  several  specimens  of  a  Ilinnoneuru  brought  by  Mr.  Moirison  truui 
Colorado.    It  has  the  second  posterior  cell  open. 

143.  Bofflbylidae.  In  my  WesU-rn  DipUrn,  p.  225,  I  have  given 
a  synopsis  of  all  the  genera  of  this  family  hitherto  found  in  the  United 
States;  and  also,  in  the  larger  genera,  a  review  of  all  the  species, 
which  may  facilitate  deteriuiuation 

144.  Anthrax  ealiforniae.  I  could  not  find  the  original  specimen 
in  the  Brit.  Mus. 

145.  Ezoproiopa  philadelpbiea.  This  seems  to  be  a  small  variety 
of  E.  fascipemiis ;  1  have  met  with  such  specimens  several  tiuies. 

146.  ExoproBopa  rabiginoia.  Probably  a  denuded  K  fuKciata; 
anyhow  a  wretched  description;  the  name  be  better  dropped.  (I  have 
seen  the  type  since  writing  this  note  and  confirm  my  statement.) 

147.  Exoprosopa  eremita.  Is  not  this  species  only  a  variety  of 
£.  puebkiisisif 

148.  Ezoprosopa  ignifei.  Walker  contradicts  himself  about  this 
species;  in  the  Dipt.  Saund.  p.  166  he  places  it  among  the  species 
with  two  submarginal  cells;  later,  he  puts  it  in  Wiedemann's  Divibiuu 
I,  the  species  of  which  have  three  such  cells. 

149.  Ezoprosopa  irimaculata  Walk-  Same  remark  as  in  the 
preceding  note. 

150.  Anthrax.  A  number  of  Macquart's  species  in  this  genus, 
especially  of  those  with  hyaline  wingb,  will  have  to  be  cancelled,  as  ihe 
descriptions  are  absolutely  unneaning  and  evidently  based  on  niisi'rable, 
rubbed  oif  specimens.    Such  are:  A.  comuxu,  altiiiicdiis,  {/lacilis. 

Of  Anthrax  hyfomihts  and  liastartlii  I  have  seen  the  types. 

151.  Anthrax  halcyon.  Macquart's  specimen  is  from  Carolina  and 
may  perhaps,  belong  to  A.  Ceyx  Loew? 

152.  Hemipcnthes  seminigra.  I  suspect  that  this  species  is  the 
same  as  H.  won'oides  (Say).  Compare  0.  Sacken,  Western  Di)it.,  p.  241. 

153.  Argyramoeba  georgica.  This  synonymy  is  adniis&iblu  on  the 
supposition  only  that  Macquart  had  a  female  before  him,  and  not  a  male, 
as  he  states.  The  figure  of  the  wing  seems  convincing.  I  do  not  quote 
A.  analis  (Say)  Macquart,  Dipt.  Exot.  II,  1,  p.  67,  ;i2,  because  1  suspect 
that  it  is  some  other  species. 

154.  Argyrauoeba  fur  0.  S.  has  the  greatest  resemblance  to 
A.  binotata  Meigen,  of  Southern  Europe  (Fiume  and  Portugal). 

155.  Stygia  eloogata  Say,  Lomatia  thntftita  NV'icd.,  is  not  a 
Lomatia  as   Wiedemann  himself  observes,    but  it  is  difi'icult  to    say.

vliat  it  is.  It  bas  the  antennae  of  a  Lpptid,  but,  nevertbcless,  only  fo»f 
posterior  cells.  I  saw  the  typical  specimen  in  Vienna  and  it  seemed 
to  agree  with  Wiedemann's  flgiire.  It  is  singular  that  annther  specimen 
of  this  species  has  never  turned  up  in  the  United  States;  it  would 
have  allowed  a  more  thorough  investigation  than  the  fragile  type  in 
Vienna,  which  one  is  afraid  to  handle. 

156.  Aniiotamit  eximia  Macq.  I  doubt  very  much  whether  tliis 
species  is  well  placed  in  that  genus  of  Macquurt's  own  creation,  but 
established  originally  for  two  African  species.  It  bas  nothing  to  do 
with  Aufhrnx,  as  the  bifurcation  of  the  second  and  third  veins  takes 
place  long  before  the  small  crossvein.  It  liclnngs  in  the  group  or 
Lomathm,  as  characterized  by  mo  in  the  Wcstcin  Dipt.  p.  ii'iti,  and 
may,  at  least  temporarily,  be  placed  in  tbo  genus  Oncodoccra,

as  B.  philaMjihicus ;  the  other  is  B.  atriceps  Loew. 

160.  Gomastes.  BomhtjUun  ba<^iJann  Wied.  from  Brazil  and  B.

appearances,  likewise  Sparno]iolim  fuJvm. 

162.  Adelidea  flava  Jaennicke,  the  type  of  which  I  have  seen  in

165.  T)zophora  leaoop'ga.  I  saw  the  type  in  Vienna;  it  has  no 
longitudinal  yellow  stripe  on  the  abdomen,  tliuy  resembling  thi>  figure 
of  f'ulm  Gray.  Is  the  To.ro]ihora  fuha,  described  by  me,  which  has 
such  as  stripe,  a  difTerent  species  or  a  mere  variety?  I  leave  the  question 
open, 

166.  Epibatei.  In  establishing  thiii  genus,  I  overlooked  tho 
existence  of  L'cliinns  Loew,  Stctt.  £nt.  Z.  1844,  which  would  have  very 
nearly  answered  my  purpose.

Fcliiimo,  howevei,  (liflTen  as  follows: 

1)  the  face  niid  cheeks  arc  much  more  projecting,  the  antennne  are 
comparatively  longer  (compare  the  head  of  J-aHhiuh  as  fi({iiro,l 
by  Loew,  Stett.  Ent.  Z.  Ia44;  Tab.  II,  fig.  9,  10,  with  the  J-lpi- 
hnUx  by  Burgess  in  Proc  Boston  Soc.  N.  H.  187S;  Tab.  IX,  f.  U); 

2)  the  wings  have  no  perceptible  denticiilntions  along  the  costa; 

3)  each  abdominal  segment  is  strongly  conrctatc  nt  the  ba!»o,  the 
preceding  segment  having  a  corru^^pontling  swelling  along  tho 
incisure;  this  is  especially  pcrcejitible  in  EcUmns  ittfuiiitUhma 
and  (jnuihH;  less  so  in  E.  hiiim; 

4)  the  thorax  in  the  male  is  not  muricate. 

I  had  an  opportunity  of  comparing  Epibatex  muricatuft  with  the 
three  species  of  EclinntH  in  Mr.  v.  llocder's  collection  (in  Iloyui;; 
probably  the  richest  private  collection  of  Diptera  in  Europe. 

TUirevtmyin  bigot  has  the  shining  thorax  and  the  projecting  fnco 
oi  Echinus,  and,  at  the  same  time,  the  muricate  thoracic  surface  of 
E'liibaten  (the  latter  is  not  mentioned  in  the  description);  it  has  a 
longer  proboscis  than  either.  These  genera  may,  for  the  present,  reniiiin 
undisturbed,  until  a  larger  number  of  forms,  belonging  here,  are  discovered. 

167.  Epibatei  niger.  The  well-preserved  male  specimen  in  tliM

I  mention  this  to  correct  my  statement  in  the  Western  Dipt.,  p.  274. 

168.  The  latinized  from  Thereva,  adopted  universally,  seems  pre*

a  character,  the  insertion  of  the  antennae  on  the  vertex,  which  is  by 
no  means  universal  in  the  family.  Ihnvjiidae  (IIoiopn,  one-eyed)  was

the  careless  wording  of  their  diagnoses,  where  pedibus  is  used  in  two 
difleroiit  senses;  once  for  /(Y/.<i,  and  afterwards  for  tarsi! 

Ili/lios  nvirsun  is  a  different  species  and  has  the  base  of  the 
wings  hyaline. 

175.  Syneohes  and  Syndyaa.  The  passage  concerning  these  genera 
in  Loew,  i.  c,  runs  as  follows:  „The  characteristic  marks,  which 
distinguish  Si/inches  from  Ilybon,  consist  in  the  shape  of  the  head, 
which  is  flattened  in  the  region  of  the  front;  in  the  palpi  being  some- 
what broader  at  the  tip;  in  the  shorter  first  longitudinal  vein;  in  the 
second  vein  taking  its  origin  nearer  the  root  of  the  wing,  and  ending 
more  steeply  in  its  margin,  than  in  the  true  species  of  jh/bos;  in  the 
somewhat  shorter  anal  cell  and  in  the  usually  spotted  wings." 

„I  take  SdiuvIus  in  this  sense,  and  form  alongside  of  it  a  new 
genus,  based  on  some  species  of  Hybos  from  the  Cape,  in  which  the 
fourtli  vein  is  almost  indistinct  before  the  discal  cell  and  the  origin  of 
the  second  vein  is  still  more  distant  from  the  base  of  the  wing,  than  in 
those  curopean  species,  which  remain  in  the  genus  Hybos,  so  that  the 
origin  of  the  third  vein  is  very  near  that  of  the  second.  The  name 
Syndyas,  which  I  give  to  this  genus,  is  intended  to  allude  to  the 
coalescence  of  the  two  cells,  produced  by  the  indistinctness  of  the  first 
section  of  the  fourth  vein."

In  this  paper  Dr.  Loew  protests  against  the  substitution  of  I'litly-

The  facts  are  these:  Meigon.  in  his  principal  work,  divi>Ics  the 
genus  Tachydromia  in  two  sections,  which  he  calls  A  and  li ;  Muc(|UiU't 
(Diptiires  du  Nord  etc.  1827),  proposes  to  cull  the  larger  sectiuu  li, 
I'latyimJimH. 

hvfore  beinfi  auare  of  Vm,  Meigcn,  in  his  Vol.  VI  (18:10),  proposed 
to  call  the  section  A  Tochifjicza,  leaving  tlie  name  Tuchydtotniu,  to  the 
larger  section  B.  In  his  Vol.  Vll,  p.  <J4  U^^(H),  he  maintains  this 
arrangement  against  Macquart's,  and  points  out  that  the  name  Tuvhy- 
dwmia  should,  as  a  matter  of  right,  remain  to  the  larger  section. 

The  question  may  be  argued  both  ways.  Zcttcrstedt  und  Loew 
(in  the  Schles.  Zeitschr.  ISiili)  take  Meigen's  view.  Dr.  Schiner  takes 
the  opposite  ground,  and  adopts  I'latyitulpHU  (Syn.  Tachydromia.  Div. 
B,  Mcigen)  and  Tuclnjilromia  (Syn.  Div.  A,  Meigon  and  T<irliin»:(t, 
Meigen).  I  follow  Meigen's  view,  as  a  matter  of  expediency,  waiving 
the  doubtful  question  of  right.  Meigen's  work  being  the  foundation  of 
Dipterology,  it  is  better,  I  think,  to  preserve  its  nomenclature,  as  far 
as  possible.  Platijpaljnis  moreover  labours  under  the  disadvantage  of 
being  a  hybrid  compound  of  a  latin  and  a  greek  word. 

SicHs  Latreille,  cannot  be  maintained  against  the  much  earlier 
Sicux,  Scopoli,  which  is  a  Myopa  ^compare  note  47a).

Antennae  short,  with  an  exceedingly  short  terminal  style. 

Legs  slender,  the  anterior  ones  of  the  ordinary  structure. 
The  third  longitudinal  vein  of  the  wings  has  its  anterior  branch  often 
connected  by  a  crossvein  with  the  second  vein;  discal  cell  elongated, 
emitting  three  veins  towards  the  alar  margin;  the  two  posterior  basal 
cells  elongated;  the  posterior  but  very  little  shorter  than  the  preceding; 
sixth  longitudinal  vein  strong,  reaching  the  alar  margin.

from  Mierodon  on  accouit  ot  the  absence  of  spines  or  even  liilnnlrs

species  from  among  the  number  of  existing  forms.  (Osten  Sacken,  Bull.

Venter  black,  segments  2,  3,  4,  each,  with  a  broad  yellow  cross-liand

Btigma  brownish;  the  third  vein  forms  a  distinct  sinus,  encroaching  upon 
the  first  posterior  cell. 

]\Iiile.  —  The  white  spots  on  the  pleurae  are  less  perceptible;  the 
cross -bands  are  sometimes  interrupted  in  the  middle,  especially  in  the 
smaller  specimens.  In  one  of  the  specimens  the  spots  on  the  second 
segment,  as  well  as  the  interrupted  cross-bands  are  separated  from  the 
lateral  margin  by  a  distinct  black  interval. 

ITabitftt,  Lake  Superior  collect.  A.  Agassiz);  Nonvay,  Me.  (S.  L 
Smith);  ^It.  Washington,  Alpine  region  (G.  Dimniock).  The  largest  lot 
I  received  from  Mr.  H.  K.  Morrison,  who  collected  it  in  the  White 
Mountains.  Altogether  I  had  fourteen  males  and  an  equal  number  of 
females. 

The  cross -bands  and  spots  on  the  abdomen  usually  are  greenish, 
like  those  of  the  European  D.  uliuti;  sometimes,  however,  they  are 
yellow. 

D.  laxn  differs  from  D.  fimeipes  Loew  in  the  shape  of  the  abdom- 
inal cross-bands,  which  in  the  latter,  become  broader  on  each  side,  but 
do  not  reach  the  margin;  also  in  the  color  of  the  femora,  etc. 

213.  Sphaerophoria.  I  restore  this  name,  however  incorrect  its 
termination  may  be,  as  MiJiihrcidus  was  used  long  before  1640  for  a 
genus  of  birds. 

214.  Allograpta.  „Scaern  oUiqun  Say,  cannot  well  be  placed  in 
any  of  the  existing  genera  of  this  group.  It  does  not  possess  the  cha- 
racteristic marks  of  Mvxo(jia]itn  (peculiar  shape  of  the  ocellar  triangle 
in  the  male,  and  peculiar  coloring  of  the  thorax';  it  has  not  the  large 
development  of  the  hypopygium  of  the  male  of  Sjiluinviihurin ;  it  might 
be  placed  among  the  species  of  Sifrphtis  with  a  linear  abdomen,  liut, 
in  the  first  place,  these  species  will,  sooner  or  later,  have  to  be  sepa- 
rated  from  the  bulk  of  the  genus;  and,  in  the  next  place,  Scatva  uhliiiiia 
possesses  in  the  structure  of  the  eyes  of  the  male,  and  in  the  peculiar 
markings  of  its  abdomen,  sufficient  characters  of  its  own.  The  eyes  of 
the  male  are  divided  in  two  parts  by  a  well  defined  line,  above  which 
the  facets  are  larger  than  below;  the  line  lies  a  little  lower  than  the 
antennae  and  thus  divides  the  eye  in  two  unequal  paits,  the  upper  one 
of  which  is  a  little  larger:  its  coloring,  in  life,  is  more  red,  the  lower 
half  is  more  purplish.  This  character,  very  striking  in  life,  is  also 
visible  in  dried  specimens.  I  have  not  observed  it  in  the  species  of 
Siiiphun,  or  of  Siihairoiihoiia,  or  of  Mexoyrniitfi,  which  I  examined  alive. 
The  name  AHofjraiitd  is  given  in  allusion  to  the  peculiar  coloration  of 
the  typical  species.  Sawva  einaryitiatn  Say,  which  I  do  not  possess,  is 
provisionally  placed  in  the  same  genus.  1  suspect  that  )■  •.:  tlian  one

one,  the  face  has  the  brownish-red  tinge,  which  the  faces  of  Si/iiiiti 
sometimes  assume);  vertex  dark  metallic  grecu,  emitting  a  stiipe  of 
the  same  color,  which  reaches  the  base  of  the  antennae,  where  it 
expands  little;  between  this  stripe  and  the  eyes,  the -front  is  yellow. 
Antennae  black,  sometimes  faintly  reddish  on  the  under  side,  near  the 
suture  of  the  second  and  third  joints;  third  joint  rather  lirge,  oval, 
blunt.  Thoracic  dorsum  of  a  rather  bright  metallic  gieen:  on  each  side

by  a  very  narrow  black  line  in  the  middle,  or  entire;  the  second  band 
is  coarctate  in  the  middle,  its  hind  margin  being  a  shallow  ulituse  angle; 
the  same  may  be  said  of  the  thini  band ,  except  that  the  obtuse  angle 
is  deeper  and  often  has  a  notch  in  the  middle,  which  sumttimes  cuts 
the  band  in  two;  there  is  a  narrow  fourth  band  at  the  buso  of  the 
fifth  segment,  encroaching  upon  the  bind  margin  of  the  preceding  seg-

216.  Ooyptamns  Amissas  Walker.  In  my  List  of  N.  A.  Syrjihidae, 
I  took  this  for  a  synonym  of  O.  iiisn'iinniix.  Since  then  I  saw  that 
Dr.  Loew,  in  his  N.  A.  collection,  considered  it  a  ditl'erent  species,  and 
he  may  be  right.

and  a  female.  In  this  species  the  interval  between  the  distal  ends  of 
the  first  posterior  and  the  discal  cell  is  nearly  a  right  angle. 

I  have  a  fourth  specimen,  a  female,  from  Quebec  (Mr.  Belanger>, 
which  is  smaller,  and  very  pale  in  coloring,  without  any  brown  stripe 
on  the  abdomen,  the  incisures  but  slightly  infuscated,  the  wings  almost 
hyaline,  etc.    I  take  it  for  a  somewhat  inmmtare  B.  votatn.

220.  Toninoeera.  Some  of  the  species  placed  in  the  gonns  Volu- 
cella,  may  belong  to  Tunuociia,  as  1  do  not  quite  mtderstiind  the  de- 
finition of  this  latter  genus.  Wiedemann  (Auss.  Zw.  Preface  to  Volume  II,

221.  Eristalii  albioeps  Macq.  is  a  distinct  species  and  looks  like 
£.  senicuhts  Loew,  from  Cuba.    I  have  seen  the  type  in  Paris. 

222.  Eristalis  eompaotas  Walker  has  the  whole  leg  red,  while 
E.  atricrps  as  described  by  Loew,  has  black  femora.  Nevertbciess  M. 
Walker's  type,  which  I  saw  in  London,  struck  me  as  beiiig  tlie  same  as 
E.  atn'cfpfi.  The  question  is  therofore,  whether  the  color  of  the  legs 
is  not  variable,  a  question  which  I  cannot  solve  here.  (Heidelberg, 
Oct.  1877.) 

223.  i'^rlBtalis  Androohs  Walker,  as  I  saw  it  in  the  Brit  Mus.  is  a 
Heloii}iiInf>.  Nevertheless  I  retain  the  name  as  E.  Audroclus  0.  S. 
(non  Walker^  as  I  have  referred  to  it  in  the  Western  Diptera  and 
communicated  it  to  many  correspondents. 

224.  Eristalis  semimetaliieuB.  I  have  E>een  the  type  in  Mr.  Bigot's 
collection;  it  looked  to  me  like  E.  linstardi.  It  is  possible  however, 
that  it  is  a  closely  allied,  but  different,  species. 

22.5.  Eristalis  dimidiatos.  Macquart  did  not  recognize  E.  dimiduitus 
Wied.,  and  thus  came  to  describe  it,  first  as  iiiger  in  the  6'«(7t.s  a  Jiuff'on'y 
then  the  male  as  L'hirtnhiuii  and  alongside  of  it,  both  sexes  as  cImJijIhus 
(Dipt.  Exot  Vol.  11);  and  then  again  the  female  as  incimrulin  in  the 
Supplem  4).  That  tl.e  eyes  of  the  latter  are  described  as  fihihroKn ,  is 
erroneous,  as  all  the  known  North  American  Eristalis  have  |)ubescent 
eyes,  with  the  single  exception  of  E.  aouiis.  I  saw  the  types  of 
E.  L'htrvnuieri  and  chnli/bais  in  tlie  Jardin  des  Planies,  and  although 
I  had  no  opportunity  of  comparing  them  with  specimens  or  dci-criptions 
of  E.  (limiiliotiis,  they  did  not  shake  the  opinion  1  had  previously  for- 
med of  their  synonymy.    E.  im'isinalis  I  did  not  see. 

2fj.  Erstalis  flavipes,  Syn.  Milesia  barda  Say  $  (non  (^).  The 
original  type  of  Say's  is  still  preserved  in  the  Harris'  colbjction  in 
Boston.  This  synonymy  explains  the  broun  sjiot  on  the  wings  of  the 
female,  mentioned  in  Say's  description,  and  which  does  not  exist  in  the 
real  female  of  31.  barda. 

227.  Syrphus  oestriformis  Walker  is  a  rather  peculiar  Eristalis, 
represented  by  a  single  specimen  in  the  Brit.  Mus. 

228.  Eristalis  tensz.  I  took  this  species  for  the  iirst  time  in 
Cambridge,  Mass.,  in  November  187.5;  also  several  specimens  in  New- 
port, R  I.,  in  October  and  November  187ti.  Since  then,  I  have  seen  it 
from  Georgia  and  Missouri  (Collect,  v.  Boeder).  It  is  strange  thitt  in 
my  20  years  of  North  American  collecting  is  bad  never  occurred  to  me

different  from  a  typical  E.  transverstts ,  but  ncvcrtlicless  I  boliove  it  to 
be  the  same  species. 

J'l  rittntuH  Macq.  The  description  agrees  with  K  frnjisirrsMs,  ex- 
cept that  the  eyes  are  said  to  be  glabrous.  Hut  this  statement  is  very 
probably  erroneous,  as,  with  the  exception  of  K  umiuH,  all  the  known 
N.  A.  J'Jristdlis  have  pubescent  eyes. 

Jv.  pmiiiltts  Macq.,  srcnis  to  be  based  on  a  very  small  specimen  of 
K  Irdnsirrsun ,  in  the  variety  with  yellow  anterior  legs.  I  have  n  )l 
seen  the  type  in  Paris. 

2:30.  Eristal'B  ADdroolns.  frater,  ohalepus  Walker,  which  I  have  seen 
in  the  IJritisch  Museum,  are  lldophiU  of  the  group  ol  H.  horailis, 
groinhnidiciifi,  ghcialiit.  Ab  it  was  not  possible  for  me  to  determine 
their  synonymy,  I  have  omitted  them  in  the  li.-ts. 

231.  Plagioeera  boing  preoccupied  by  King,  (Ilymennptera  1834), 
Mr.  Loew  gave  another  name  to  this  genus.  It  was,  I  suppose  an  over- 
sight on  his  |)art,  that  he  omitted  to  state  that  riiioptllu  was  merely  a 
new  name  for  an  old  genus.  Schiner  (No vara,  3GG)  was  right  in  su- 
specting it 

232.  Helopbilna.  Compare  the  paper  on  the  Europoan  species  of 
Ihloiihihis  by  II.  Loew,  in  the  Stett.  Ent.  Zeitschr. ,  Vol.  VII;  sevetal 
North  American  species  are  described  in  it. 

233.  Helo^hiluB  stipatus  and  H.  Anausis  Walker.  I  saw  hotli  in 
the  Ihit.  Museum.  The  former,  I  thought,  was  llil  liiientHK  male.  Tiio 
latter,  a  greasy  specimen,  was  undistiiiguishable ,  but  the  desciiption 
shows  it  to  be  If.  linuitiis. 

234.  Helophili  8  obsonrus.  The  patria  as  given  by  Mr.  Loew  in  the 
Centuries  (CnroliiKi),  was  based  upon  an  erroneous  reading  of  the  label. 

235.  Enmerus  porous  Walker,  which  is  a  Helophilus,  is  a  very 
peculiar  species;  it  is  rL'i)reseiited  in  the  Brit.  Mus.  by  two  (cj  and  V) 
wellprescrved  specimens.    I  have  never  seen  it  elsewhere. 

'2:i6.  HelophiluB  susurrans  Jaenn.  The  synonymy  does  not  seem 
doubtful;  only  Ifiiitcmnid  should  be  read  instead  of  Scitftinnid  in  the 
description;  without  this  emendation  the  comparison  with  H.  paidultis 
has  no  sense. 

237.  Teuohoonemis.  Milesia  Baonntins  Walker,  and  Pterallastes 
litnratus  Loew,  are  closely  allied  and  must  be  put  in  the  same  genus. 
Both  have,  in  the  male,  curved  hind  tibiae,  with  a  strong  projecting 
spur  in  the  middle,  a  character  which  is  wanting  in  I'lendlnstes  tlioitwicun 
Loew.  The  latter  was  described  by  I  )r.  Loew  in  both  sexes,  and  there- 
fore must  be  considered  as  the  type  of  the  genus ,  while  of  P.  litunitiis 
Dr.  Loew  described  only  the  female.  Hence  arose  the  necessity  of 
establishing  a  new  genus  for  the  other  two  species. 

238.  Teuehoonemis  Baonntins.  The  specimens  which  I  have  from 
Texas  do  not  quite  agree  with  Mr.  Walker  s  description  of  the  thorax, 
nevertheless  the  identity  is  not  doubtful. 

23'J.  Merodon  Baatias  Walker,  is  represented  in  the  Brit.  Mus.  by 
a  single  male  specimen;  M.  bijiaiiitiis  by  four  specimens,  two  of  which

projecting  face  and  would  deserve  the  establishment  of  a  new  genus.

the  same  group  with  my  J'orola  ci/iikiUk  and  1\  alofirx  from  California, 
which  I  had  doubtfully  referred  to  St.  Fargeau's  genus  I'dvdIh  (Western 
Diptera,  p.  3:5!)).  At  the  same  time,  I  have  al«o  seen  the  eurojiean 
I'licotd  (I  pi  form  in,  the  type  of  the  genus,  and  have  become  aware  that 
my  two  californian  species,  as  well  as  Ji.  ciiiniiujiistir,  cannot  be  referred 
to  I'orotn.  For  this  natural  group  of  tliree  species,  I  form  therefore  a 
new  genus,  and  propose  for  it  the  name  cf  Criofirora  {y.inim{>u>n<K;,  with 
the  face  of  a  ram).  The  new  group  is  characterized  by  the  structure 
of  its  face,  which  forms  a  short  snout,  prolonged  anteriorly,  rather  than 
downward,  without  tubercle  in  the  middle  and  with  an  emajgination  at 
the  tij) ;  in  the  profile,  the  face  is  gently  concave  between  the  antennae 
and  the  oral  edge. 

I'ocntd  is  called  by  Schiner  I'lorntd  St.  Fargeau;  the  latter  author 
however  calls  the  genus  J'oiutd,  probably  from  //(Ixoc  sheepwool,  and 
Ifixi'io),  to  cover  with  wool.  Since  1  made  this  correction  in  my  Western 
Diptera,  p.  339,  Mr.  Verrall  has  drawn  my  attention  to  the  fact,  that  in 
Walker's  Ins.  Urit.  Dipt.  I,  238.  as  well  as  in  the  Index,  in  Vol.  Ill, 
the  genus  is  correctly  called  J'twotd.

Three  males  and  two  females. 

In  general  api)earance,  this  species  is  very  like  the  European  X. 
feniortita ;  but  it  difl'eis  especially  in  the  color  of  the  coxae,  which  in 
the  latter  arc  black.  Minor  ditl'crences  are  that  in  A'.  fiiHontta  the 
wings  are  more  uniformly  colored,  less  tinged  with  brown  on  the  distal 
half,  the  stigma  paler,  etc. 

Xylota  curTipes  Loew?  (Hull.  Buff.  Soc.  I.  c) 

Among  the  specimens  of  Xifluta  mors  brought  by  Mr.  Morrison 
from  the  White  Mountains  I  found  one,  which  is  larger  than  the 
others  (about  1-5  mm),  has  altogether  black  coxae,  the  hind  femora 
stronger  and  beset  on  the  under  side  with  yellowish  hairs,  longer 
niul  niore  consjucuous  than  similar  hairs  which  exist  in  A',  vcvorn; 
the  hind  tibiae,  somewhat  more  strongly  curved  and  ending  in  a 
short,  stout  spur;  they  are  beset  on  the  inner  side  with  very  con- 
spicuous, long,  erect  black  hairs;  the  halteres  are  altogether  reddish; 
tlic  antenlan  arista  dark  brown,  etc.  Now  all  these  characters,  in 
which  this  specimen  differs  from  X.  rcivrs,  belong  to  the  European 
X.  citiri'iics  Loew,  Neue  Beitr.  II,  19.  As  I  have  no  specimen  from 
the  latter  for  comparison,  I  cannot  settle  the  question  of  their  identity, 
but  I  draw  the  attention  of  collectors  to  this  undoubtedly  distinct 
species.  We  have  in  this  intance  one  of  those  curious  cases  of 
parallelism,  as  they  so  frequently  occur  between  the  two  faunas.  As 
X  fcmorata  in  Europe  is  supplemented  by  the  closely  resembling  X. 
ci(iT//H.s,  the  American  representative  of  X.  femoratn,  X.  vecorx,  has 
alongside  of  it  a  species  either  identical  with  or  closely  resembling 
X.  < »  v'lK •«.

England,  and  agrees  with  Say's  description,  except  that  the  antennae 
arc  more  often  dark  than  reddish;  tliut  tlie  tarsi  usually  have  the  tiin-o 
last  joints  hiack,  rarely  two;  the  hind  coxae  in  the  male  are  armed 
with  a  spine.  Tliis  last  character  prevents  me  from  identifying  this 
species  with  X.  (lunilrimaatUita  Loew.  I  have  not  seen  any  original 
specimen  of  the  latter.  Loew  seems  to  have  identified  tjuiicida,  us

248.  Novum  gennit  I  seems  evident  that  Xiihta  bndia  Walker  is 
no  Xylota  at  all,  and  that  Miksin  votalii  Wiedemann  must  be  placed 
in  the  same  generic  group  with  it.  Not  having  the  means  of  ascer- 
taining whether  this  is  a  new  genus,  or  not,  I  leave  the  question  open. 
The  synonymy  of  JiristaliH  inters isteiis  SValker  with  Xi/lota  builia 
Walker  is  doubtful,  as  the  descri'ition  of  the  face  does  not  quite 
agree;  it  is  principally  based  on  my  recollection  of  the  type  at  thj 
British  Museum.

latter,  in  all  the  numerous  New  England  specimens  which  I  have  seen, 
lias  the  femora  black  or  brown,  with  the  tips  only  more  or  Icbs  yellow. 
Harris  describes  the  legs  of  his  MiUsia  ixcintn'cn  as  „ochre  yellow, 
except  the  shanks  and  feet  of  the  first  pair,  which  are  black".  This 
agiees  with  some  specimens  from  Illinois,  which  also  have  a  more 
saturate-yellow  abdomen  and  narrower  black  cross-bands  than  the  New 
England  specimens.  The  description  of  ^1/.  cxcetitrico,  which  I  prepared 
for  the  new  edition  of  Harris'  work  was  drawn  from  two  western  males 
of  the  above  mentioned  species.  The  female  which  I  had  before  mu  ut 
that  time,  was  from  Massachusetts,  and  I  find  now  that  I  liave  a  second 
female  of  the  same  kind  from  Lake  superior;  both  differ  from  the 
western  males  (which  I  took  for  T.  (xcoitriai),  as  well  as  from  T. 
af<iuaJis  in  having  two  yellow  dots  on  each  side  of  the  thoracic  suture 
(like  T.  nUeniaiis),  and  not  a  yellow  streak;  the  scutellum  is  darker, 
and  its  pubescence  is  black,  not  yellowish;  the  second  abdominal  segment 
has  very  little  yellow,  etc.  —  This  may,  after  all,  be  the  true  (xrm- 
Iricn  Harris,  although  it  is  much  rarer  than  T.  (wiunlin.  At  all  events 
I  was  wrong  in  uniting  these  females  with  those  western  males.

(Neue  Exot.  Dipt.  p.  4)  that  the  european  Temn.  hombtfhtnfi  occur?  in 
North  America,  refers  to  this  species.  I  adopt  Mr.  Walker's  earlier 
name,  under  which  I  have  distributed  the  insect  to  many  collectors, 
the  more  so  as  the  description  is  among  the  recognizable  ones.

Is  it  really  a  distinct  speciei? 

2-')4.    The  history  of  this  genus  is  as  follows: 

Spheoomyia.  Latrcille,  Paniilles  naturellcs  du  lipgne  animal  (1825), 
contains  the  name  without  any  definition  Tlic  definition  appeared  in 
the  Dictiotmaire  classique  d'histoire  natnrelle  (hy  Rey  and  Gruvier, 
puMisherF,  in  Paris),  Vol.  XV,  p.  545  (182!)),  as  follows: 

Sphtcomyin.  Genre  d'inscctes  de  I'ordre  des  dipteres,  (tioXAx  sur  une 
seule  espiicc,  rapporti^  de  la  Caroline  par  Bosc  ct  tr^s  voisinc  dc  cclui 
dc  Cliiifsotoar,  mais  triis  distinct  par  un  cararti-ro  unique  dans  cet  ordre 
d'insectcs,  cclui,  d'avoir  la  sole  des  antennes  ins6rt^e  sur  le  secoml  article; 
cet  article,  ainsi  que  le  precedent  cet  long,  presquc  cylindrique;  le  troi- 
sieme  ou  dernier,  est  heancoup  plus  court  La  soie  est  simple.  Ce  genre 
a  etc  indiquc  pour  la  premiere  f'ois  dans  notrc  ouvrages  sur  les  families 
naturellcs  du  r6gne  anim.il,  mais  sans  signalemeut.  L'esp6ce  qui  lui 
a  scrvi  the  type  sera  consacrc^e  au  celehrc  naturaliste  precit^. 

Latreille  however  never  descrihed  this  type  of  the  genus,  and  it 
was  Macquart  who  saw  Bosc's  and  Latrcille's  original  specimen  in  the 
Museum  at  Paris,  and  averred  that  is  was  the  same  as  Chrysotoxion 
vittdtitin  and  Psaj-hs  ornutus  of  Wiedemann  (Dipt.  Exot.  II,  2,  p.  18, 
1841). 

Latrcille's  statement  that  the  arista  is  inserted  on  the  nccond 
antennal  joint  is,  of  course,  erroneou.s.  Macquart  further  mentions,  1.  c, 
that  in  the  Berlin  Museum  this  genus  figures  under  the  collection-nanic 
of  Eimiiier.  Gorski,  in  his  Analecta  ad  Entomographiam ,  etc.,  1852, 
proposes  the  generic  name  Tyzeuhnunin  for  the  European  species  of  the 
same  genus.  It  occurs  only  in  Eastern  Europe  (Sweden,  Norway,  Fin- 
land, Litl'.uania'),  and  is  very  like  the  North  American  species.  Wahl- 
berg  Ofvcrs.  Vetensk.  Acad.  Forhandl.,  1854,  p.  155)  gives  a  detailed 
description  of  it. 

Mr.  V.  von  Roeder,  to  whom  I  sent  an  american  specimen  of 
S.  vittata,  compared  it  to  the  eu  opean  S.  venpifonnis.  He  found  only 
very  slight  differences,  which  would  hardly  justify  a  separation;  his 
specimen  of  vespifonnis  (from  Finland),  has  the  yellow  stripe  on  the 
pleura  interrupted,  which  is  not  the  case  in  the  american  S.  vittata; 
the  black  cross -bands  of  the  abdominal  segments  were  broader  in 
vefipiformin,  which,  according  to  Mr.  v.  Roeder  may  be  explained  by  the 
abdomen  of  his  specimen  being  more  drawn  out.  Tho  figure,  given  by 
Gorski,  certainly  looks  exactly  like  S.  vittata.  Still,  Dr.  Loew,  if  I 
recollect  right,  considered  them  as  different  species.

some  confusion  in  Wiedemann's  description,  when  he  speaks  of  the 
Hititerh'ibsgriffel  of  the  male.  The  Bi  izilian  specimens  nuiy  somewhat 
differ  in  coloring,  or  perhaps  constitute  a  ditforent  s])ecies,  in  which 
case  Say's  name  would  have  to  be  adopted  for  the  North  American 
species.  (Since  writing  the  above  I  found  substantially  the  same  state-

Vol.  XII,  p.  216.  (February  —  May  1(S7G);  also  Hondiiiii,  Samtiihoijue 
italicne. 

Mr.  Mcado  had  the  kiiidn^^s  to  examine  a  cnllcction  of  Snrco- 
phagae  from  North  America,  (belonging  to  the  Miispuni  of  Comparative 
Zoology)  for  the  purpose  of  comparing  them  to  llm  european  spi'cies. 
Ho  arranged  the  collection  according  to  the  plan,  adopted  in  his  mono- 
graph  and  made  out  24  distinct  species  of  tlic  restricted  genus  Smro' 
phnffn  (with  black  palpi)  and  four  species  belonging  to  the  genera 
JWkin  Desv.  d'lirissoiioda  Macq.),  ('ifiKinn/iii  Desv.  and  I'ViovVf  Desv. 
He  adds:  „I  am  doubtful  whether  any  of  the  species  is  absolutely 
identical  witli  a  europeau  species,  unless  it  be  witb  Sonuphnija  similis, 
which  closely  resembles  S.  ciirmiriti.  There  is  no  specimen  in  your 
collection,  however,  exactly  like  the  true  S.  vurunritt,  so  common  in 
Europe.  —  There  arc  some  striking  points  of  difTerence  between  the 
Sarcophagae  of  America  and  Kuropo  generally,  the  chief  of  which  is 
that  in  the  former,  the  species  with  one  or  both  antil  segments  red  or 
yellow,  largely  predominate,  while  among  the  latter,  those  with  the  anal 
segments  black  or  gray,  arc  much  more  numerous  than  tho!<e  with 
the  red." 

The  epecimens  alluded  to  as  resembling  S,  simiUs  Meade,  were 
collected  in  the  Rocky  Mountains,  Colorado  and  on  the  northern  shore 
of  Lake  Superior.

274.  Calliphora  mortiieqna.  Kirby  sayd:  „tliis  seems  to  be  the 
american  representative  of  Muscn  romituiid"  and  states  the  diiferonces. 
However,  the  cheeks  being  described  as  red,  he  must  mean  either 
M.  erythrocephala  or  its  representative.

probably  with  good  reason,  that  Fabricius  meant  Nnr-Xi'itlntitl  and  not

He  sums  up  his  comparison  as  follows: 

„0n  looking  over  the  collection,  it  struck  me,  in  the  first  place, 
„that  the  number  of  species  was  small  in  proportion  to  the  number  of 
„spccimens;  and  next,  that  the  number  '>f  smaller  and  feebler  species 
„was  greater  in  proportion  to  that  of  the  large  and  more  highly 
„developed  forms,  than  occurs  in  Europe.  I  only  determined  121  species 
„in  the  collection.  There  where  few,  if  any,  peculiar  forms  among  them; 
„they  could  all  be  arranged  in  the  same  g' nera  as  the  europoan  spciies; 
„they  had  the  same  sombre  colours  and  ordinary  forms,  which  are  .«o 
„familiar  to  us;  and  many  of  the  common  european  kinds  where  so 
„clo8ely  represented,  that  it  was  difficult  to  say,  in  some  instances, 
„whether  they  were  exactly  the  same,  or  closely  analogous  species." 

278.  Scliiner,  Fauna  Austr. ,  Dipt.  I,  p.  644,  quotes  Anthomyia 
brassiose  Bouche  as  a  synonym  of  A.  rufueps  Meig.,  but  with  a  doubt. 

279.  Schiner,  1.  c.  p.  643,  quotes  A.  oepatum  as  a  synonym  of 
A.  avtiqua  Meig.

285.  Schiodte  (Berl.  Ent.  Zeit.  1859,  p.  153)  seems  to  be  in  doubt

paring Wiedemann's  ty-es.  I  do  not  pretend  to  docido,  wliethor 
Macqu  irt  is  right  in  referring  to  the  same  species  the  specimens  from 
tuba,  rhiladelphia,  Java  and  Port  Jackson. 

As  to  Taeniaptera  triviUotn.  Macquart,  Dipt.  Exot.  II,  3,  p.  240, 
says:  „The  genus  Tamiaptera,  which  1  establislied  in  the  SiiUia  ti  ]iiiiJ'o)i, 
has  for  type  a  species  allied  to  some  exotic  C'tluhaUte.  I  suppress  it.'' 
The  reason  is  not  given,  but  tlie  probable  cause  may  have  been  the 
loss  of  the  original  specimen,  which  would  explain  why  Macquart,  in 
giving  up  the  genus,  never  mentions  the  species  again.  I  look  upon 
the  synonymy  of  C.  all  i  tana  Macq.  (which  is  a  Tdcnuqitira  in  Maccpmrt's 
sense),  with  T.  triviti-ua  Macq.  as  certain.  Compare  also  Loew,  Ueschr.

293.  The  third  volume  of  the  Monographs  of  the  N.  A.  Diptera 
(1878)  contains  a  monograph  of  the  N.  A.  Ortilidae  by  Dr.  Loew,  with  an 
introduction,  concerning  the  classiKcation  of  the  Ortalidae  in  general,  and  a 
review  of  the  work  of  previous  authors  on  the  same  subject;  however, 
no  notice  is  taken  of  the  new  genera  published  by  Dr.  Schiner 
(Novara  etc.);  nor  of  Prof  Rondani's  Odalidiiiae  itahaie.  The  article 
by  Dr.  Loew:  Die  N.  A.  Ulidhia,  in  the  Bed.  Ent.  Zeitschr.  1867,  p. 
2>^8,  was  the  precursor  of  his  larger  publication,  but  also  contains  South- 
American  species. 

'294.  Oxyoephala  fenestrata  and  0.  fuscipennis  I  have  seen  the 
types  of  both  in  the  Museum  of  the  Jardin  des  Plantes.  0.  fencstniht 
seems  to  be  a  different  species. 

295.  Pyrgota  valida.  ^Yhcn  Mr.  Loew  set  aside  this  name,  as  a 
mere  catalogue -name,  he  overlooked  its  publication  by  Mr.  Harris  in 
the  Ins.  Inj.  to  Vegetation. 

296.  Ortalis  OrtoeJa  The  specimens  in  the  Ihit.  Museum  bearing 
this  name  are  Chaetopsfiif  ncnea. 

297.  Herina  splendens     I  owe  this  synonymy  to  Mr.  v.  Boeder. 

298.  Urophora  nigriventris  Macquart.  I)r  Loew,  in  the  Monogr. 
etc.  Vol.  Ill,  p.  :W7,  says  about  this  species  that  it  is  a  'J'rypctid  of 
doubtful  systematic  position;  but  not  an  Uioiihorn.  Macciuart's  de- 
scription made  nic  suspect  that  this  was  simply  Ciniijiloviuni  piitn.  As 
I  had  overlooked  this  species,  wliile  examining  Mr.  higot's  collection  in 
Paris,  I  wrote  to  him  about  it,  and  he  kindly  informed  me,  tlnit  „after 
a  careful  comparison  of  the  types  in  his  collection,  labelled  in  Macqii.ut's

299.  Teplronota  hnmilis.  In  the  Monographs,  ITT,  p.  125;  ^fr. 
Loew  rejects  the  earlier  name  given  to  this  species  by  Mr  v.  d.  Wulp, 
on  the  ground  that  „it  has  been  preoccupied  by  Fabricius".  This 
cannot  be  sustained,  as  neither  of  the  two  generic  names,  Herir.a  or 
Tephrovota  existed  at  the  time  of  Fabricius. 

800.  Trypeta  Narytia  Walker.  There  are  four  specimens  in  the 
Brit.  Mus.;  two  of  them  are  Clioiiopi^is  mmn,  and  one  of  these  bears 
Walker's  label  „Narytia",  the  two  others,  marked  „Florida,  Doubleday", 
seem  to  be  Tephronola  hiuniUn.

304.  Schiner  (Novara  etc.,  p.  263)  draws  attention  to  the  probable 
identity  of  Lcittoxi/s  with  AiiaMrcplia.  But  this  identity  seems  certain, 
owing  to  the  fact  that  Macquart  himself,  in  the  Dipt.  Kxot.  II,  3,  p. 
216,  mentions  the  Daeus  serpeutinus  Wied.  as  belonging  to  LrptoxyA.

this  species  in  the  description  of  Dr.  Fitch  and  in  the  iigure.  The  de- 
scription of  Cltl  aiititmaiiK  Fitch  evidently  contains  some  clerical  error, 
as  it  describes  the  antennae  as  plumo!>e  and  alludes  to  those  of  (hi.

314.  Loew,  Centur.  Vol.  11,  p.  289,  proposes  to  revive,  instead  of 
Anthophilina ,  the  older  name  of  this  genus  Atithmmi-n  Fallen,  Speclm. 
Entomol.  1810.  The  same  argument  is  adduced  by  him  in  the  Jahrb. 
d.  k.  k.  Gel.  Ges.  in  Krakau,  Vol.  XLI.  But  it  seems  to  me  that 
Anthomy-a  is  too  much  like  Aiithomyin  and  that  there  is  a  serious 
objection  against  using  names,  so  nearly  alike,  in  the  same  order  of 
insects.  Furthermore,  as  the  name  Anthomyza  has  been  used  by 
Zetterstedt  in  the  senne  of  Ahthuiinjki,  its  reinstatement,  in  a  different 
acceptation,  would  be  misleading.  We  have  therefore  the^ choice  bet- 
ween Lii)tomyza  Macq.  (1835)  and  A)ithui>hiUiin  Zetterstedt  (iSIiS).  Dr. 
Schiner  adopted  the  former,  which,  1  suppose  is  the  right  course;  but 
until  the  question  is  decided,  I  retain  the  three  north  aincrican  species

321.  Phortioa  Schiner  is  not  interfered  with  by  Vhorticm  Stal, 
Reduvida  1860,  Amiola  Loew  was  published  in  the  same  year  with 
Fhoriicd,  a  few  months  earlier,  but  has  never  been  characterized.  Ten 
years  after  its  publication,  a  few  words  of  explanation  appeared  in  the 
Centuries,  Vol.  II,  p.  288,  to  establish  its  identity  with  Phortioa. 

322.  Qilorops,  Osoinis,  Siphonella.  About  the  relation  of  these 
genera  to  each  other  and  their  respective  limits,  compare  Loew,  Wien.  p]nt. 
Monatschr.  Vol.  II,  the  article:  Zwanzig  neue  Dipteren,  in  the  note  to 
No.  11,  Oscinis  gilvipcs. 

For  the  subdivisions  of  Chlorops,  in  the  sense  of  Macquart,  see 
Loew,  Uebcr  die  bisher  in  Schlesien  aufgefiuidenen  Arten  der  Gattung 
Chloropn,  in  the  Schles.  Zeitschr.  f.  Ent.  1866.  Contains  much  more 
than  its  title  implies,  and  is  an  elaborate  monograph  of  the  genus. 

323.  In  the  Jahrbuch  der  K.  K.  gelehrten  Ges.  in  Krakau  (1870), 
p.  15,  Mr.  Loew  says  that  Gymiioita,  on  account  of  its  venation, 
should  be  placed  among  the  Fjilwjilridae.  But  as  he  does  not  state  to 
what  group  in  that  family  it  should  be  referred,  and  as,  in  the  list  of 
Dipteia,  appended  to  that  same  article,  Gynuioiia  is  left  in  its  old 
place  among  the  Osciuidac,  I  will  follow  his  example  here.  In  the  same 
place  Mr.  Loew,  explains  why  the  older  name  of  the  genus,  Moftillus, 
should  be  rejected.  Whether  his  grounds  are  sufficient,  I  do  not  pretend 
to  decide;  but  that  Afosilhtu  has  not  been  entirely  overlooked  between 
its  publication  in  1804  and  its  reinstatement  by  Schiuer,  is  proved  by 
a  curious  passage  in  the  Preface  of  Wiedemann's  Auss.  Zw.,  I,  p.  XI 
(1828\  in  which  he  speaks  of  Jfosilhtif  as  something  wellknown  to  him, 
and  refers  to  it  (erroneously?)  the  Sargus  aeneus  of  Fabricius. 

An  earlier  article  by  Mr.  Loew  on  Gymnoim  (Stett.  Ent.  Z.  1848) 
discusses  the  europeau  species,  aud  not  the  systematic  position  of  the  genus.

Ill,  p.  17.  Family  Illepliarocerii 

Since  my  arrival  in  Europe  I  have  had  opportunities  of  a  closer  study 
of  the  BIcpharoceridse,  and  have  come  to  the  conclusion,  that  ijleph.  j/dsi- 
mite  should  rather  be  considered  a  Lijmiieura,  its  broad  front  being  in  this 
case  a  character  of  higher  order  than  the  dilTerentiatiou  of  the  facets 
of  the  eyes  iu  two  portions  (with  larger  and  smaller  facets).  I  pub- 
lished this  fact  in  au  article  entitled,  Bemerkumjen  ulnr  Blvpharoceriden 
(Deutsche  Entomol.  Monatschr.,  1878,  p.  405-41t)),  in  which  many  other 
remarks,  supplementary  to  Loew's  Revision,  etc.,  are  incorporated. 

In  looking  over  Mr.  Bigot's  collection  in  Paris,  I  observed  in  it  an 
uudescribed  Blepharocerid  (a  female),  likewise  from  California,  and  very 
remarkable  for  having  the  venation  exactly  like  Liponeura  yoaemite, 
although  its  contiguous  eyes  make  it  a  Blepharocera.  A  deep  groove 
divides  the  eyes  iu  two  portions,  but  there  \a  no  strip  without  facets,  as 
in  the  two  species  of  Blepharocera  hitherto  described.  The  identity  of 
tlie  venation  of  this  species,  wliich  I  call  Bl.  anv.iUa,  with  that  of  L.  yose- 
inile,  would  seem  to  prove  that  it  is  the  venation,  which  in  this  case  is  a 
character  of  higher  or<1er  than  the  structure  of  the  front.  Many  such 
discoveries  would  tend  to  obliterate  the  limit  between  the  genera  Bhplia- 
roccra  and  Liponeura, 

Blepharocera  ancilla,  n.  sp. ;  female  ;  Gray  ;  thoracic  dorsum 
brownish,  with  paler  longitudinal  lines  ;  abdomen  brownish,  incisures 
yellowish ;  antennfB  brownish-yellow,  brownish  towards  the  tip ;  legs 
brownish-yellow  ;  tips  of  femora  brownish  ;  tarsi  brown  ;  knob  of  halteres 
infnsoated  ;  wings  Bubhyaline  ;  veins  brownish-yellow  ;  venation  similar 
to  that  of  Lipon.  yosemite.     Length,  7  mm.

larger  facets,  is  a  little  longer  than  the  lower  portion.     A  strip  destitute 
of  facets  is  not  perceptible  in  that  groove.

the  base  of  the  large  fork  of  the  Ufth  vein.  (In  other  words,  the  venaticui
